Solara28
- Founded, ideated, architected and single-handedly developed Solara28, an AI-native multi-tenant SaaS platform for European commerce verticals — food services, restaurants, pharmacies, grocery retailers, wine and spirits, catering, coffee shops and event ticketing — positioned under the vision “Illuminate your commerce” as a local-first, zero-commission alternative to global marketplace aggregators and platforms such as Amazon, Shopify, Just Eat, Deliveroo, PrestaShop and WooCommerce. Evidence ↗
- Designed a sustainable, zero-commission commerce model enabling independent B2C ecosystems, in which merchants retain full ownership of customer, order and product data while improving long-term profitability.
- Engineered Solara28 as a high-performance, AI-powered match for global marketplace incumbents on enterprise capability, while preserving local control, regulatory compliance and economic value distribution for independent merchants.
- Established Solara28 as a large-scale reference implementation of Agentic AI product engineering, demonstrating the viability of autonomous multi-agent systems in enterprise-grade software delivery.
- Designed, built and published the open-source Buonaiuto-Doc4LLM MCP server, which auto-detects a project’s library stack, fetches current official documentation and serves it version-aware to AI coding assistants — the RAG infrastructure that kept the agents’ 6M+ lines of code aligned with current, secure architectural standards and eliminated API hallucinations.
- Developed an ecosystem strategy covering payments, accounting and e-invoicing, logistics, local commerce associations, digital agencies and technology providers to accelerate merchant acquisition and operational integration.
