Raffaele Colace is a seasoned software engineer and co-founder with 13+ years building digital products and leading operations at 20tab, where he blends hands-on Python development with Agile and Lean practices. He drives product thinking across teams and the Italian community—co-creating the Product Management Day and helping found the Product Manager Alliance—translating business needs into pragmatic engineering outcomes. His technical core is Python/Django, Postgres and CI/CD (Docker, Kubernetes), complemented by experience in Swift, C# and Unity3D, and a strong emphasis on testing practices like BDD/TDD and consumer-driven contracts. An active speaker and community member, he runs #StopCoding to bridge code and business, and balances practical engineering with product and growth disciplines. Ambitious to dive deeper into deep learning and NLP, he prefers evolving toolchains over legacy stacks such as uWSGI, nginx, PHP and Windows-centric ecosystems.
