Welcome. This is my trail: follow it to see what I've learned, what I've built and what I love.

Portrait of Giacomo Ferlaino

Giacomo Ferlaino

Software & Product Engineer · ex-CTO · MSc Management Engineering (in progress)

I build software and products, standing halfway between technology and business. I co-founded Registered, the go-to marketplace for everything dance, leading its architecture as CTO, and I've worked as an IT consultant, developer and project manager. I live in Paris and I'm starting an MSc in Management Engineering.

Every trail starts from some roots.

Passions

The evening fire: what lights me up when I'm not working.

At the end of the trail there's a wooden gate.

The gate is open: if you want to write to me, I'm here.
