Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFilippo Fadda is a seasoned technology leader and entrepreneur with 13 years of formal experience and a 25+ year track record of founding and scaling software ventures, now working as a Fractional CTO in London. He blends hands-on polyglot engineering with executive leadership—having led a 60-person engineering organization and managed budgets north of £5M while architecting a shift to event-sourcing and building BPMN-driven KYC/KYB products. Earlier he founded Programmazione.it, Italy’s once‑leading programmers’ portal, and secured a €700k investment at 24, demonstrating early product-market instincts. Filippo pairs practical systems work (from Raspberry Pi BLE projects to backend composer installer contributions) with strategic productization—recently applying LLMs to automate insurance policy drafting. He’s comfortable across startup and enterprise contexts, moving between fractional CTO roles and hands-on delivery to turn complex requirements into reliable, deployable systems.
