Federico Pomponii.

I turn ambiguous, cross-domain problems into reliable production systems, combining applied AI, backend engineering, cloud architecture and end-to-end ownership.

I started working professionally as a software engineer at 17, before completing high school. Since then, I have built software across fintech, public-sector products, national-scale media, Silicon Valley SaaS, digital-asset infrastructure and applied AI. The titles changed, but the common thread did not: I tend to become the person trusted with problems that cross team or domain boundaries.

My strongest work happens when the problem is ambiguous. I connect product and business constraints to architecture, hands-on implementation, integrations, deployment and production operations. I am comfortable moving between AI workflows, distributed backend services, cloud infrastructure and technical leadership without losing depth.

Today, I focus on production AI and complex systems: RAG, AI agents, LLM workflows, evaluation, security, guardrails and observability, together with the backend, data and cloud foundations that make those systems reliable.

I am based in Teramo, Italy, and have worked with teams across Europe and the United States. Through Negen, I lead selected product and consulting engagements while remaining hands-on across architecture, code and production delivery.
