Massimiliano
Angelone.
Italian engineer, born in Ancona in 2001. Now building AI MVPs for founders worldwide from Tenerife — and heading to Bali.
Timeline
Twenty-four years compounding. The moments that shaped the engineer.
Ancona. Family, the people who didn't give up later.
Missed diagnosis. Both eardrums perforated. Twelve silent years began here.
Third attempt. Dr. Trabalzini's experimental cartilage technique held — first patient in Italy. First time I heard the world clearly, at thirteen.
Same technique on the other ear, the following August. At fourteen, the world stopped being a guess.
After the surgery, finally cleared to fly. First trip abroad.
Start2Impact's Full Stack track. React, Angular, Node.js. Code stopped being a hobby.
One month, end to end. Left with the decision already made — I'd come back to stay.
Legacy VB6 → Angular + .NET. First taste of enterprise scale, real users, real consequences.
A week with Miki. Walking, cold water, hours of talking. Came back different.
20 days, alone, on the other side of the world. Buddhist temples, slow mornings, the kind of silence you can't manufacture at home.
Broadcasting systems engineer. RAI, La7, other networks. Code that goes live every night, on millions of TVs.
Angel1 begins. First Freelancer.com clients, first invoices in my own name.
10 days, Barcelona to Cadiz. Coast roads, no agenda. The trip before the move.
Tenerife, this time to stay. The decision from 2023 became address, schedule, daily walks to the sea.
Released v1.0 on npm. The scaffolding I'd been copying project-to-project, finally extracted into a tool.
The second tool. Measures whether a RAG pipeline actually works — retrieval, faithfulness, correctness.
Currently
On the island since October 2025. Working from home, sometimes from a café in town. Heading to Bali in early July 2026.
Side project, no client. The kind of itch you scratch when the tooling work leaves room for it. More to share when there's something to show.
Reading Gianluca Gotto. Long walks. Building toward Bali in early July 2026 — the next chapter.
