Software Architect & Technical Project Manager

Luigi Brandolini with his childhood IBM PS/1 80286

In the early 1990s, in front of an IBM PS/1 80286, my passion for technology was taking shape. Today, I design and help scale complex software systems, integrating strategy, architecture, and delivery.

With 16+ years across enterprise software, technical leadership, and AI driven innovation, I operate at the intersection of engineering excellence, project governance, and team development. Available for fractional engagements and strategic technical leadership.

Biography

Digital origins

Born in Atri (Abruzzo) in 1983, I have been passionate about technology since I was a child: my first console was an ATARI 2600. At 14, in the 90s, I started programming with QBasic and Turbo Pascal 5.5, carving out time from my studies despite a demanding humanities education. During the 1999/2000 school year, I published my first website on the Napoleonic Era, still available on AlterVista.

Professional journey

After earning my master's degree in Computer Science and qualifying as an engineer in 2009, I now live in Rome, where I work as a software engineer and technical-scientific trainer. In 2014 I founded Ermes Engineering, now Ermes Systems, a studio that offers strategic IT consulting, software architecture, and technology governance. I have collaborated with Reply, Dedagroup, Honda S.p.A., University of L'Aquila, and IMT Atlantique (Nantes), also contributing to international scientific publications. The article A language workbench extension to generate conversational interfaces for domain-specific languages is my latest academic research work.

Beyond code

Alongside his technical career, Luigi has always cultivated a passion for piano, theater, and writing. He has performed in plays by Dürrenmatt and Woody Allen, and in 2024 published his first novel, Ponte numero IX (Bridge Number Nine), a story exploring themes of love, travel, and second chances. The international edition Deck Nine is also available.

Work

By your side to create value through quality, collaboration, innovation, and security.

IT Consulting

I support organizations in effective project management through Agile and Scrum methodologies, improving governance, time-to-market, and delivery quality. I analyze and optimize business workflows to increase operational efficiency, automation, and process control.

Software Architecture

I design and develop scalable, robust, cloud-ready software architectures based on microservices and the most advanced versions of Java and Spring (Framework and Boot). I define solutions focused on resilience, observability, and performance, while optimizing infrastructure costs through modern containerization, orchestration, and continuous monitoring practices.

AI Enablement

I support companies in the strategic adoption of Artificial Intelligence, turning opportunities offered by language models into concrete solutions integrated into business processes. I design frameworks based on LLMs and DSLs to ensure guided development, regulatory compliance, and higher productivity for technical teams.

Projects

Open source projects and contributions to the developer community.
