Summary
Francesco Passanante is a Fractional Team Leader and Product Engineer who specializes in stabilizing fragile proprietary software and restoring predictability to delivery pipelines. With over a decade of development experience and nine years focused on leadership roles, he steps in as an external CTO/advisor to reduce technical debt, define architecture and processes, and align technical roadmaps with business outcomes. He excels at diagnostic-driven interventions—setting measurable priorities, quality criteria and minimal processes that quickly cut bugs, regressions and single-point dependencies. Clients include MIAcademy, Money.it and Joorna, where he delivered tangible improvements such as a mass-import pipeline handling millions of records with enhanced observability. Rather than producing more code, he brings order, standards and autonomy to teams so software becomes a growth lever instead of a risk. Based in Lombardy, Italy, he combines hands-on product thinking with entrepreneurial experience from founding B2B and agribusiness ventures.
