Backend developer and DevOps specialist
Francesco Ferraguti
I build backends and cloud infrastructure that hold up: services, data, automation, from architecture to production. At the chessboard I play tournaments as a Candidate Master and teach: the same discipline, applied to a different problem.
What I do

Current role
Independent IT consultant
Information technology services · since 2024
I design and build backends and cloud infrastructure: services in Go, Rust, Python and TypeScript, containerised on Kubernetes and AWS, with the data on Postgres. I work as an independent consultant and follow a project from its architecture to production, with the same discipline I use at the chessboard.
