Hi, I'm Christian Pugliese

I’m a hands-on software engineer and CTO based in London, with more than 20 years of experience building products, leading engineering teams, and helping startups scale.


I focus on solving complex problems through simple, production-ready solutions. Lately my work has centred around AI systems, automation, and taking products from MVP to large-scale growth.


I’ve worked with teams and clients across the USA, UK, Brazil, Germany, Australia, and Italy — including Disney, Google, Porsche, Tropicana, Diesel, and Channel 4.


I care about clear communication, balanced teams, inclusive culture, and building environments where people can do their best work.
