Welcome to the forest of dreams: here you never stop growing, or learning. Follow the path to the gate — every stop hides something.
Giacomo Ferlaino
IT project manager with an engineering background · former CTO
Since 2017 I've been taking technical projects from idea to production, bridging the people who have a need and the people who write the code. I co-founded Registered, the go-to marketplace for dance, leading its technology as CTO all the way to incubation by the Culttech accelerator in Vienna; I've coordinated teams of 3 to 5 developers and nearly 50 international events in production. In my personal projects I build generative and agentic AI apps. I live in Paris and I'm available right away.
The strongest roots are the ones you can't see.

A smell of wood smoke: someone lit a fire.
Interests
Around the fire: a chessboard, a guitar, poker cards, stock charts and things built from what others throw away. Come closer and touch them.
Chess
A game is a project in miniature: you plan, you make mistakes, you learn. By the fire the board is always set.
Music & guitar
I play the guitar: that's where Tabello came from.
Football & sport
Football, played and watched, and sport in general.
Poker
Probability, patience and reading people: making good decisions even when the information isn't enough.
Trading
I follow the markets and like understanding how they move: charts, risk management and discipline.
Building with recycled things
Giving a second life to what others throw away: planks, jars and scraps of wood become something new. Like this birdhouse.
Languages
Italian, French, English, Spanish, and the urge to learn more: every language is one more door.
Nature
Walking in the woods and understanding how things work: that's where this forest comes from.
A bench, a lantern and a pile of books.
Books
The book shelter: I've always read everything, trade magazines included. This past year I rediscovered the joy of getting lost in a story.
Read as a child
- The Betrothed — Alessandro Manzoni
- The Baron in the Trees — Italo Calvino
- Jonathan Livingston Seagull — Richard Bach
- White Nights — Fyodor Dostoevsky
On my nightstand now
- The Gambler — Fyodor Dostoevsky
At the end of the path there's a wooden gate.
Contact
The gate is open, and I'm curious to know who you are. Write to me or book a call.
The fog rises, but the path doesn't end here.
The forest goes on
Beyond the gate the path climbs into the fog: my thesis in March 2027, Scripta, and who knows what else. In the forest of dreams you never stop growing.
