👤 About

Platform architect specializing in modular, multi-runtime systems. Author of Universal Microservices Architecture. Writing about device-independent systems, WebAssembly, and Contract-Driven AI Development.

I design architectures that scale across runtimes, from cloud to edge to browser. My work focuses on platform consistency, declarative contracts, and metadata-driven systems that prepare organizations for an AI-native future.

I’m also currently writing "Universal Microservices Architecture: Device-Independent Modelling for Modern Software Design with WASM," a comprehensive guide to UMA as an architecture for building modular, portable, device-independent services. The book explores how WebAssembly, declarative contracts, and metadata-driven design together enable software to transcend single-platform assumptions, scale across runtimes, and prepare for an AI-native future.

My ongoing work explores how AI agents interact with software through contracts, policies, and verifiable boundaries.

Previously, I co-founded startups in travel, education, and payments, always aiming to bridge innovation with practical delivery.

Architecture models and publications like:

📄 June 2023 - Client-Side Microservices Architecture (CSMA) - White Paper, bringing modular, service-oriented thinking to the frontend

📄 August 2024 - Universal Microservices Architecture (UMA) - White Paper, a portable, WebAssembly-first approach to distributed systems across devices, runtimes, and clouds

📄 August 2025 - Event Contract Catalog Architecture (ECCA) - White Paper, a blueprint for discoverable, governable, and secure event-driven systems at enterprise scale

📄 November 2025 – Contract-Driven AI Development (C-DAD) – White Paper establishing a foundation for AI-assisted software engineering through verifiable contracts, automated reasoning, and hybrid governance. C-DAD extends specification-driven design with machine-readable manifests, policy enforcement, and provenance tracking.

✍️ Why I’m Writing

Writing helps me work through ideas, explore architecture patterns, and stay curious about where our industry is heading.

- Mastering Software Architecture for the AI Era (Wednesdays)

- The Rise of Device-Independent Architecture (Fridays)

Weekends are for family. And when there’s snow on the ground, it’s ski time. No questions asked.

❄️ A Few Fun Facts

- I’m a certified ski instructor with ski patroller training. Fresh snow always wins.

- My two little girls believe “monolith” is a scary word. I’m not correcting them.

- I’m into all things outdoors: skiing, road biking, mountain biking, and running.

- I moved from Italy to Canada around 10 years ago. I adjusted, but I still can't accept what some people call pizza.

- I make real carbonara. No cream. No shortcuts. Just the truth.

- I like to ask big questions, make fun of tech buzzwords, and remind myself often: I don’t know shit. And that’s the fun part.
