About
Marcello Bruno, founder of BWareLab
I am a Senior Software Architect and Lead Full-Stack Engineer. Since 2000 I have been designing and building distributed, resilient, mission-critical platforms for major banking, insurance, institutional and industrial groups.
On top of a solid engineering background – a Master's degree in Computer Engineering (110/110 cum laude) and four years of university research on Web Services and testing – I keep my skills constantly up to date: from the Microsoft .NET enterprise ecosystem to a specialization in generative AI, multi-agent systems, micro-frontends and cloud-ready containerized architectures.
With BWareLab, active since 2018, I support companies and software houses as an architect, consultant and developer: from the first analysis to release and ongoing evolution of the product, including taking over existing systems.
- Engineering approach: Clean Architecture, DDD, testing and code quality
- Hands-on experience in regulated environments: finance, insurance, public sector
- Clear communication in Italian and English (C2 level)
