# Riccardo Gabellone

> Software Engineer — Backend & Distributed Systems. Currently open to opportunities.
> Backend engineer who builds production microservices by day and ships privacy-first AI products solo by night.

Backend / distributed-systems engineer with 4+ years building Python and Rust microservices in production — 40+ services, hundreds of requests per second, thousands of users — where I grew from building individual services to owning all of the infrastructure and pipelines. On the side I ship complete products solo, most recently Vital Causality, a privacy-first health app running on-device LLM inference, live on Android in Europe.
