Federico Pomponii.

I am a Senior Full Stack AI Engineer and hands-on software architect. As a Senior Software Engineer, I turn ambiguous goals into AI-native products that hold up in production, from React and TypeScript interfaces to backend APIs, distributed services, data systems and cloud infrastructure.

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 and domains changed; the pattern did not: I am usually trusted when a problem crosses team boundaries, has no obvious owner, or needs a coherent system rather than another isolated feature.

Complexity does not intimidate me. I build context, challenge assumptions, map constraints, define system boundaries, choose the architecture, translate decisions into executable work and stay accountable through implementation, deployment and operations. That lets me move from product reasoning to code without losing sight of either.

I do not use AI because it is fashionable. I use RAG, embeddings, vector search, agents, MCP, tool calling and evaluation when they improve the product, with testing, guardrails, observability, security, performance and cost treated as design inputs from the start.

My core stack spans TypeScript and JavaScript, React and Next.js, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker and CI/CD, with practical Rust and distributed-systems experience. 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.
