CurrentlyCTO since May 2024

Alessandro Caramia

CTO at Startgram SRL · Full Stack Developer

I'm CTO at Startgram SRL, where I handle everything from architecture and backend to frontend, infrastructure, and releases. I like building things end-to-end — figuring out how the pieces fit together and making them work in production.

Current role: Startgram SRL

At Startgram I'm responsible for technical planning, architecture, implementation, infrastructure, releases, and security.

Core strengths

What ties my work together is that I don't just write code in one layer — I take a problem, figure out the plan, build it across the stack, ship it, and then make sure it doesn't fall apart.

Requirements to releases

I build the whole thing

Architecture, backend, frontend, infrastructure, CI/CD, releases. I'm used to handling all of it, not just a slice.

AuthZ · gRPC · NATS

I go deep on systems

Not just picking frameworks — I care about service boundaries, auth models, messaging patterns, deployment, and security.

Frontend to CI/CD

I move fast across layers

I can jump between UI work, backend services, and ops without waiting for someone else. That matters a lot in small teams.

Selected work

A few things that give a sense of what I do — CTO work, enterprise projects, creative experiments, and a polished side project.

CTO scope

Startgram

Where I work now. I own the full technical scope — from planning and architecture to backend, frontend, infra, CI/CD, security, and releases.

Enterprise delivery

Oslo Italia SRL

Enterprise team work — AngularJS maintenance, Angular 17 migration, microfrontends with single-spa, Cypress testing, Kubernetes environments.

Interactive graphics

Aura Gestures

A Three.js experiment where hand gestures control particle clouds. Just something I built to play with graphics and interaction outside of business stuff.

Product-side application

Rubik's Timer

A Rubik's Cube timer I actually use. It's a PWA with session tracking, statistics, offline support, and Firebase sync across devices.

Path snapshot

I've been building things since I was a kid. The tools changed, the projects got more serious, but the curiosity is the same.

2014

Game Boy hacking & RPG experiments

Where it started — ROM hacking and RPG Maker prototypes taught me debugging and how tools actually work.

2022

First real clients

Freelancing turned hobby projects into actual responsibilities — real deadlines, real stakeholders, real shipping.

2023

Enterprise context at Oslo Italia

Migrations, microfrontends, Cypress, Kubernetes. Working in a bigger team on bigger systems.

2024 → present

CTO at Startgram

Now I own the technical side of a product company — architecture, code, infra, releases, all of it.

Keep exploring

Experience

From freelance projects to enterprise teams to CTO at a product company. Here's where I've worked and what I've done.

Capabilities

Languages, frameworks, hard skills, soft skills, and how I actually approach work.

Journey

How I got here: from hacking Game Boy ROMs at 12 to running architecture and releases as CTO.

Contact

Get in touch — I'm open to conversations about engineering roles, architecture, and product work.

Substance over spectacle

This site looks the way it does on purpose, but the real point is what's behind it: actual systems I've built, actual roles I've held, and a path that keeps going.
