Solution Engineer — Milan, Italy

Yuri Nalesso.

Give me a hard problem and the right constraints — I'll find the architecture, the stack, and the shortest path to production. Lately, that path runs through agentic AI.

About me

I don't start with a favorite technology; I start with the problem. That's taken me from unsupervised neural networks for ECG anomaly detection to clinical NLP pipelines on AWS Comprehend Medical to multi-region cloud platforms — choosing Java, Python, or Go as the job demands. Machine learning has been part of my work since long before the current wave: an AWS ML – Specialty certification, MIT Sloan's AI in health care program, and ML models running in real systems.

Today I lead with an AI-first SDLC: LLMs integrated into code generation, automated debugging, and architecture validation — adopted where they measurably help, dropped where they don't. I'm building with agentic patterns on LangChain and OpenAI APIs: agents that act inside designed, validated boundaries instead of freewheeling. That skeptical engineering is the point — the tools will keep changing, and the discipline of verifying output and owning the architecture is what makes AI actually ship.

What I'm doing

  • Solution Engineering

    Designing and developing comprehensive, scalable solutions that meet project requirements and business goals.

  • Cloud Architecture

    Architecting and implementing robust, multi-cloud solutions on AWS, GCP, and OCI for high availability and performance.

  • DevOps

    Automating infrastructure and streamlining deployments with Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.

  • ML & GenAI

    Building and deploying machine learning models and generative AI solutions to extract insights and drive innovation.

    • Cloud Architecture & Leadership: Architected a highly available, multi-region microservices infrastructure on GCP for the PNRR-funded Regional Telemedicine Platform (PRT), coordinating cross-functional teams and external vendors (Google PSO, LDO, Atlantica).
    • Healthcare Interoperability: Led the technical integration of complex clinical data flows (HL7, CDA), regional identity providers (SPID/CIE, Keycloak), digital signature systems, and medical IoT devices.
    • Security & DevOps: Secured sensitive patient data (PHI) by implementing WAF, mTLS, and EDR solutions, while optimizing CI/CD pipelines on Jenkins to separate build and deploy phases across environments cleanly.
    • Infrastructure Optimization: Engineered Kubernetes-based service communication, migrating service discovery from Eureka to Consul and implementing horizontal autoscaling for peak performance.
    • Additional Projects: Designed an AWS serverless Mass Casualty Incident platform for an EIT project, automated multi-cloud provisioning (Terraform), and integrated a secure SEPA payment module for the Banca d'Italia.
