AI Solution Architect — Rome, Italy
AI architecture built to hold up in enterprise production.
Twenty years built inside a global enterprise services group, the last eight focused on intelligent automation and GenAI. Today I bring that same experience independently, working directly with organisations that need AI to survive contact with production, not just the pilot.
Simplified view of the pattern used in RAG chatbots designed for an international enterprise group, US federal agencies and private clients.
Profile
From operations to solution architecture, without skipping a step.
Over roughly twenty years inside a global enterprise services group, I moved from operations through program management to solution architecture — building a track record that combines hands-on technical delivery with enterprise-scale design. The last eight years have centred on intelligent automation: I have architected more than 50 AI-augmented solutions that collectively process over 400,000 transactions a month and recover roughly 15,000 labour hours per month across the business.
Since 2023, my focus has shifted decisively toward generative AI. I have designed RAG-based chatbots for an international enterprise group, US federal agencies and private clients, built image classification pipelines, and defined LLM integration patterns for hyper-automation workflows. Most recently, I architected a contract review solution for a global law firm that uses large language models to compare client agreements against a standard Master Agreement, surfacing deviations, clause-level risk flags, and negotiation recommendations at a fraction of the time previously required by legal reviewers.
I work comfortably in the space between business stakeholders and engineering teams — translating process requirements into concrete architecture decisions, and keeping a close eye on what is genuinely feasible versus what makes for a compelling slide deck.

Selected projects
Solutions built to hold up under real load, not just the demo.
LLM-assisted contract review
For a global law firm: automatic comparison of client agreements against the standard Master Agreement, deviation detection, clause-level risk flags, and negotiation recommendations — at a fraction of the time a manual review would take.
RAG chatbots for enterprise and federal contexts
End-to-end design for an international enterprise group, US federal agencies and private organisations: retrieval strategy, embedding pipelines, LLM orchestration patterns and guardrail frameworks defined from scratch.
Large-scale agentic automation
End-to-end architecture of solutions combining RPA, API connectors and GenAI capabilities: unstructured data extraction, next-best-action engines, document intelligence pipelines, and billing dispute agents.
Career path
Twenty years built inside a global enterprise group. Today, independent.
AI & Automation Solution Architect
Direct consulting for enterprises on AI and GenAI architecture: RAG, agentic workflows and intelligent automation, from feasibility through to production, bringing the experience built across 400,000+ monthly transactions in enterprise environments.
AI & Automation Solution Architect
Led end-to-end architecture of agentic AI solutions combining RPA, API connectors and GenAI capabilities. Defined retrieval strategies and LLM orchestration patterns for enterprise and federal conversational systems. Acted as technical lead in pre-sales, presenting architecture to C-level stakeholders.
RPA Solution Architect
Defined automation strategies for a global portfolio of enterprise accounts across UiPath and Power Automate, from process discovery through to production, with CRM/ERP integrations via REST API.
RPA Programme Manager
Managed a cross-functional automation programme from process analysis through to production rollout, with roadmap reporting to senior leadership.
Programme Manager — Business Transformation
Delivered the first RPA proof-of-concept for the EMEA contact centre operation, which became the foundation of the RPA practice later scaled across the business.
Earlier career within the same enterprise group
Led enterprise support teams, handled global escalations, and managed service performance across multi-country accounts.
Web Application Developer / Software Analyst
Full-stack web development and requirements analysis for SME clients — the technical foundation that later enabled deep engagement with RPA and AI platform engineering.
