Giovanni Costagliola

I design and build enterprise software for a living, and I write to think clearly about it — keeping the real complexity of a problem visible and refusing the complication we pile on top.

  • Principal software architect, based in Milan, Italy
  • Working in DDD, Event Sourcing and Clean Architecture on .NET and Azure
  • Currently: leading agentic-AI integration into enterprise dev workflows
