Approach
How I work
I'm Massimo Selvi — an AWS Cloud Architect and Engineering Manager based in Ravenna, Italy. With 20+ years of full-stack development experience and an AWS focus since 2019, I help teams build and run well-architected serverless systems.
Background
My career started in full-stack development — Apple/NeXT WebObjects, Laravel, PHP, then Node.js and TypeScript. In 2019 I transitioned fully to AWS cloud architecture, designing event-driven serverless systems for production workloads. Today I work as a Tech Advisor and Engineering Manager, blending hands-on architecture with team leadership.
Working style
- Remote & EU-based Available across European time zones, fully remote.
- Async-first Slack, Loom, and Docs over meetings — written communication by default.
- Long-term engagements 6+ months fractional or ongoing advisory, not one-off audits.
- Guide & Validate Intensive initial collaboration to establish patterns, then advisory review as the team builds.
