Hi, I’m Francesco! ☕
I’m Francesco Bognini, a Software Architect and .NET Software Engineer with a strong focus on building systems that actually survive production.
I’m the founder of Voucherly, a startup operating in the payments and restaurant services space: from digital ordering to pay-at-table solutions. Building a product in this domain forced me to think beyond code: business models, integrations, reliability, edge cases, and human behavior all matter.
In parallel, I continue to work as a consultant. I help companies design, build, and evolve backend systems, integrations, and product architectures – especially in environments where software is business-critical.
I started my career in consulting, working with companies in food retail and welfare (where software isn’t just code, but operations, timing, money, and people).
At 21, I founded my first software house (it’s still alive today, and still part of how I work). That experience shaped how I think about software quality, long-term decisions, and technical responsibility.
I care deeply about clean, readable, well-structured code.
At the same time, I’m pragmatic enough to know when “perfect” is the enemy of “done”.
I tend to work best in focused, independent settings, but experience taught me that meaningful products are built with (and for) people.
When I’m not working, I dance, do theatre, write, and drink hot tea.
Those things shape how I think more than they might seem.
If you’re building something and need help thinking it through, let’s talk or connect.
