Welcome to Apollonio.DEV v1.0 web shell

My name is Francesco Apollonio.

My work is turning ideas into reality: products, architectures, and engineering teams built from the ground up. What drives me is seeing them grow, scale, and deliver real value.

Today I work as Head of Engineering / CTO and Software Architect, with experience across prop-tech, healthcare, and research. I’ve:

• Designed and scaled cloud-native backend architectures
• Led complex projects from vision to production
• Built and led cross-functional teams (frontend, backend, QA, DevOps) grounded in ownership, collaboration, and technical excellence

I started as a developer with a research background and grew into leadership, combining hands-on technical depth with strategic direction.

I help companies make the right technical decisions at the right time, moving fast without losing long-term perspective, and keeping technology aligned with business goals.
