Michele Piccirillo is a Berlin-based software architect and fractional CTO with 14+ years of experience building and scaling web and mobile platforms across regulated domains like healthcare and finance. He blends hands-on full-stack development (TypeScript/NestJS/Next.js/React, Ruby on Rails, Android/React Native) with DevOps expertise in AWS/GCP, Docker, Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code. Michele has led engineering teams as interim CTO and Head of Engineering, migrated mission-critical systems, and shepherded large customer migrations (e.g., €1B AUM frontend migration). He excels at designing resilient, compliant architectures and pragmatic automation that reduce incidents and operational overhead. An entrepreneurial technologist, he pairs product, UX and growth sensibilities with deep technical mentorship gained from founding an agency and advising early-stage startups. Off the beaten path, his tooling-first mindset is reflected in cost-conscious cloud architectures for sensor-heavy systems and a long-standing appreciation for Unix caveats.
