Hey, I'm
Alfonso Graziano.
I solve problems, sometimes by writing code, other times by talking to people. I'm a AI Lead at Nearform, I build AI agents, write about AI-native engineering, and share what I learn on stages across Europe.
A short portrait, in figures that actually matter.
AI-NativeSoftwareEngineering.
Building software in the age of AI, from context engineering and agent workflows to spec-driven development and team practices. Written for engineers who want to stay sharp and ship with confidence.
- Context engineering
- AI Agents
- Spec-driven development
- AI team practices
- Harness Engineering
Things I build on evenings and weekends.
Software engineering is a deep passion, not just a job. I dedicate a lot of my free time to building side projects around ideas and technologies I care about. It's how I learn, experiment, and have fun while making useful things.
LearnClip
Turn ideas into viral short-form videos for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. AI avatars, voiceovers, no camera needed.
The Intentional Engineer
A collection of insights for building not just better software, but a better life. Mindset, health, communication, finance, long-term career strategy.
JSDevAI
A toolkit for building intelligent apps with JavaScript. From AI integration to production deployment.
JAWE
Just Another Workflow Engine. An experimental, extensible engine built around DAGs with custom plugins, dynamic data, and multiple triggers.
Notes on engineering, AI, and the craft.
I write when something clicks and I want to remember it. Short, practical, a little opinionated. The full archive lives on my blog; here are the pieces I'm most proud of.

On stage with other brilliant minds.
I love sharing what I learn through tech talks. Every conference is a chance to teach, but more importantly to learn from the people in the room. Below are the most recent ones.
Credentials from the cloud side.
Nearform.
Nearform creates software solutions that accelerate enterprise success, enrich customer experience, and contribute to the growth of our community. I lead engineering teams and help clients ship AI systems that actually work in production.
One day in my life.
A glimpse beyond the keyboard: what an ordinary day looks like for a software engineer living in Italy, between code, espresso, and the little rituals that keep the craft human.
