Summary
Alessandro Donateo is an experienced software architect and hands-on AI engineer with three decades of enterprise software background and a current focus on architecting AI solutions. Based in Apulia, Italy, he combines deep expertise in large-scale Java microservices, reactive systems, and Kubernetes with practical AI prototyping through his independent lab, building MCP, RAG, and agent-pattern proofs of concept. He has led regulated iGaming and sportsbook platforms with 200+ microservices, strong resilience and observability practices, and has driven healthcare FHIR-based mobile solutions as a lead developer. His personal projects—like AI Teams (integrating Claude Code into team chats) and Medical Agenzia—demonstrate a pragmatic approach to integrating LLMs with orchestration and tools rather than theoretical work alone. Known for translating safety research and curating Resilience4AI resources, he blends production-grade architecture skills with a thoughtful stance on AI risks. Alessandro is equally comfortable at the system-design level and in the codebase, shipping prototypes that bridge research, compliance, and product needs.
