Francesco Marinoni Moretto is a senior technology executive with over 20 years of experience. As Marketing Director & Lead AI Architect at Netinet in Milan since 2023, he develops AI-powered solutions and leads AI-assisted software development initiatives.

Francesco created two open-source frameworks addressing AI reliability: Stream Coding, a documentation-first methodology for AI-accelerated development (www.stream-coding.com) , and Clarity Gate, a pre-ingestion verification system for RAG epistemic quality (https://github.com/frmoretto/clarity-gate). Both emerge from a single thesis: "LLMs don't need help, they need clear and excellent documentation." Stream Coding is validated through git-verified production-ready systems including a complete backend built in 1.5 days after 5 weeks preparation. Clarity Gate addresses the "confident plausible falsehoods" problem in RAG systems, achieving 19-25% improvement on mid-tier models in benchmark testing.

Francesco is Practice Leader at N1AI, a 400+ member professional group, and presents regularly at Milan AI events including AI Tinkerers and Aperitivo AI. Since 2008, he has been an Italian evangelist for CiviCRM.
