what’s a bruce?


In my private life, I am a practitioner and teacher of mindfulness meditation, a discipline that helps me maintain balance and awareness both in work and in my personal life. Furthermore, I am passionate about hiking in the mountains, where I find peace and inspiration. Motorcycle trips allow me to explore the world from a different perspective, while learning languages, reading, and writing are constant sources of personal growth. More and more often, I discover that my best ideas emerge while discussing complex thoughts on my balcony, among my plants, sipping a cup of tea.

In my professional life, I find freelance work stimulating because it constantly exposes me to new challenges and technologies, broadening my professional horizon. Managing teams and their dynamics is one of my key skills, and I find great satisfaction in seeing how a group can evolve and grow together. However, my true passion lies in the analysis of complex systems: whether it’s designing solutions from scratch or analyzing and optimizing existing systems, I love diving into complexities to find elegant and efficient solutions.

Throughout my career, which spans over 15 years, I have gained deep experience in various technological fields. In the past I occupied several positions: I worked as a Senior Software Engineer Team Lead and Senior Software Developer in a bank society, contributing to critical projects like the backend for the trading and finance system of the Multichannel Internet Banking project. Here, I utilized technologies such as .NET, WCF, SOAP, and Asp.net MVC to create robust and scalable solutions.

Early in my career, I specialized in databases such as MongoDB and technologies like .NET, Python, and TSQL. I also held managerial roles, including IT Manager and later CIO at a startup, managing complex infrastructures and coordinating both internal and international development teams. The dynamic and creative energy of startups still drives me today.

Fractal Architect

I recently came across the concept of Fractional Architect and thought: why not describe myself as a Fractal Architect?

That’s exactly where I feel at home: navigating complex architectures, tackling specific critical issues, and analyzing mountains of data to build meaningful models. My work is about finding the sweet spot where complexity meets simplicity, speed, and security. Seeing a well-crafted architecture and an elegant data model running smoothly in production is one of my greatest satisfactions.

I believe in automation as a way to free time and energy, and in optimization as an act of care for the people who will use these systems every day. More automation means more space to improve everything else — to innovate instead of just survive.

And since we are not machines, I also bring mindfulness and attention to teams: because the sustainability of work is not only measured in uptime, but in the quality with which we stay present inside our projects.



Never automate something that shouldn't exist.
Tim Ferriss
Premature optimization is the root of all evil.
Donald Knuth
