Experience and results

Stefano Salvucci

12 years writing software, designing architectures, and automating processes. Today I work as a Fractional CTO: I build digital products for people with an idea and no technical team, from the first prototype to a platform running in production. I also work with companies that already have a product, on technical leadership, AI automation, and Italian Public Administration integrations.

Co-founder of Social Academy and BusinessinCloud — Italy's first all-in-one educational marketing platform — I've built digital products that serve millions of users and handle multi-million euro transactions.

Selected in 2019 as a YTILI Fellow by the U.S. Department of State and the German Marshall Fund, I collaborated with European entrepreneurs and leaders on innovation projects. Author of awesome-italian-pa-opensource, a curated list of open-source libraries and tools for integrating Italian Public Administration services into software applications. I supported the launch of Dock Startup Lab at Roma Tre University. For 2 years I taught Full Stack Web Development at Epicode.

Registered member of the Rome Engineers' Association.
