Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlessandro Canessa is an experienced engineering leader and delivery specialist with over a decade of web development roots, now operating as a fractional Head of Engineering across multiple engagements including Fortivex, Unomundi, and the MACH Alliance. He grew from junior developer to Head of Engineering at Digital Detox and led culture and quality transformation at EY after the acquisition, proving he can change how large organisations think about ownership and craft. At Commerce Layer he combined developer relations and partner-facing technical strategy, and he continues to blend hands-on engineering sense (notably contributing Node.js tooling for GitHub release notes) with people-first mentorship. Currently focused on architecture, delivery and enabling ecosystems, he prefers coaching teams to write better code rather than coding in isolation. Based in Naples but frequently found around the world, he brings a mix of practical delivery discipline, clear standards for distributed teams, and an unusual creative streak—drums, improv and etymology—that informs his collaborative leadership style.
