Mauro Gioberti

Mauro Gioberti

I'm a Tech Lead, AI Architect, and hands-on Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience building and evolving real-world systems across fintech and other complex domains.

My work sits somewhere between engineering, architecture, technical leadership, and mentoring. I still spend plenty of time building, debugging, refactoring, reviewing code, and figuring out why something that "should work" doesn't.

In recent years, AI has become a major part of that work. I design and build solutions using LLMs, RAG, agents, evaluation strategies, and AI-assisted engineering workflows, with a strong focus on architecture, maintainability, and practical use rather than demos for the sake of demos.

I've been mentoring developers for years, helping engineers improve architecture, code quality, testing, and technical decision-making.

As a speaker, I like sessions grounded in things I've actually built and tested. Expect working code, trade-offs, mistakes, benchmarks, and ideas you can take home and try yourself.
