Before making an important technical decision, talk to someone who has already made it.

Technical advisory for founders and CTOs who need clarity before investing time and money in the wrong direction.

30 minutes free, no commitment

Technical due diligence

I assess the real state of a product or technical team. Ideal before investing, acquiring or scaling. No conflict of interest — just an honest diagnosis.

Architecture assessment

I analyse your current architecture and tell you what works, what does not, and what will break when you grow. With a concrete plan to fix it.

Scalability decisions

I help you decide when to refactor, when to migrate, when to hire. Technical decisions aligned with the real stage of your business.

How I work

01

Context session

I understand your situation: team, product, market, objectives. I ask the questions I need to give you an informed opinion.

02

Technical analysis

I review code, architecture, infrastructure and processes. I document findings with clear priorities: what is critical, what can wait.

03

Report & recommendations

I deliver an actionable report with diagnosis, risks, prioritised recommendations and concrete next steps.

Who this service is for

  • Non-technical founders who need to understand the real state of their technology
  • Investors who want an independent technical due diligence
  • CTOs seeking a second opinion before a critical decision
  • Companies considering a migration or rewrite of their system

I worked with Francesco as backend lead on one of the most technically demanding projects I've been involved in. The stack spanned several very different technologies, and he took ownership of all of them, getting up to speed remarkably fast. What impressed me most was his ability to integrate complex systems on first contact — grasping how unfamiliar pieces fit together and making them work correctly, the first time. That instinct is rare, and it made him the person the team relied on when the hard problems landed (we still rely on him as of now!). I'd gladly work with Francesco again and recommend him to any team that needs a dev who can own complexity rather than be slowed by it.
Federico Magnani CTO, glueglue™
Francesco is a professional who conveys confidence, not only from the point of view of in-depth technical skills but above all thanks to his way of tackling the most complex challenges. I feel confident, in conclusion, in suggesting Francesco as a real added value for any development team.
Mattia Costa CEO, Gitaigo
Francesco is an incredible hardcore worker, efficient and super skilled. He helped my organisation throughout all the development of a industry changer IoT system which required a massive effort on the backend side.
Filippo Quercetti CEO, HubWater
Francesco is an excellent programmer, whose great skills have allowed him to handle a variety of areas with excellent results, especially on the back-end and web development side. He is well suited to teamwork and knows how to respect agreed schedules, even under heavy stress and tight deadlines.
Andrea Rinaldo Principal Application Engineer Manager, Emerson
I strongly recommend Mr. Francesco Antonio Sessa as Back-End Web Developer. During 2016, I had the pleasure to collaborate with Mr. Sessa in the context of various Web Development projects for KCS Media Srls. I was impressed by his capability of capturing and leveraging my personal feedback to the extent of evaluating and reviewing the ongoing services. I also appreciated his capability of smoothly entering and boosting multiSite development, and his very helpful and flexible attitude towards the team. He has many soft skills, a very sharp analytic approach to problem solving, and a natural inclination to exploring new opportunities. Overall, I strongly recommend Mr. Sessa as a skilled as well as trusted professional in Web development and Web maintenance matters.
