About

Fabio Mangolini

I'm a Product Engineer: I turn business problems into software that runs. Twenty years in the field, the last ten fully remote, based in Ferrara, Italy.

The path

  1. From 2004

    Local web agencies

    I started out working with web agencies in my area, on projects for very different clients. That's where I learned that code is only half the job: the other half is understanding what the people using it actually need.

  2. 2008 to 2015

    Core41 s.r.l.

    I co-founded Core41: a team to lead and clients to look after. I moved from writing the software to deciding how to build it and leading the people who wrote it.

  3. 2016 to today

    MeltinBit

    Then I chose to work independently, and remotely. Custom web apps and SaaS, internal systems, integrations, Shopify and Shopify Plus, for small businesses, agencies and tech companies. Whoever hires me talks to me, from analysis to release.

  4. Today

    Software and AI agents

    I design software and ship it to production directing a system of AI agents. AI makes me faster; experience is what decides what to build and makes sure it holds up over time.

Computer science and languages look like two different roads. In my work they meet every day: translating what a business does into software that does it well, and working smoothly with clients and teams outside Italy.
