Guido Pettinari AI Consultant

I make development teams AI-first.

Your team wants to use AI but doesn't know how to do it without breaking things. I build the process, the infrastructure, and the confidence to make it work.

Your developers use Claude Code and Cursor for everything. But if someone still has to guide the agent through every task, that's pair programming with extra steps. I help teams move from supervised sessions to autonomous agents that complete backlog tasks and open PRs for review.

What I Do

AI-First Transformation

I take your development team from synchronous Claude Code and Cursor sessions to autonomous agents that work in parallel without supervision. I set up the CI/CD, testing and project knowledge they need, then train your developers to review and direct asynchronous work. Your team ships faster without being afraid of breaking things.

Agentic Systems

I design and build agentic systems that integrate into your business processes: voice assistants, workflow automation, data pipelines, multi-agent architectures. I build them for production, with explicit limits, compliance checks where needed, and logs that show what the agents are doing.

Enterprise AI-First Development Adoption for a Telecom Company

A multi-month consulting and training engagement with a global enterprise company specializing in telecom measurement and service assurance. I moved from structured workshops into embedded mentoring across Java, C++, QA, and telecom engineering teams, working on their repositories and development workflows.

AI-First Development Adoption for a Web Agency

I helped a web agency with a B2B SaaS platform and over 300 automotive clients transition to AI-first development. The work took them from zero CI/CD and scattered tests to automated testing, coding agents integrated into the workflow, and a team that trusts the process.

AI Consultant for a Multi-Agent Workflow Builder

I helped a fintech company turn a multi-agent design into a working product. Users describe a financial workflow in plain language, and AI agents generate and execute it.

AI-Powered Workshop Appointment System

I built a voice assistant that lets workshop staff manage appointments, customers, and vehicle history through natural conversation. Moving the cascade pipeline to LiveKit cut response time from 3 to 5 seconds to under 1 second.

DeFi Protocol Integrations for an AI-Powered Blockchain Platform

I built 8 protocol integrations for HeyAnon, a DeFAI platform where users interact with DeFi protocols and centralized exchanges through natural language. Each integration translates plain English commands into deterministic, schema-validated blockchain transactions.

What clients say after working with me

A few words from people who brought me in to build AI products, improve engineering workflows, or help their team work better with AI.

Francesco Campagnola

Francesco Campagnola

Lead of Application and Automation Intelligence Engineering at Anritsu Europe

Guido was practical and thoughtful throughout the engagement. He was equally effective with junior developers and with engineers with more than twenty years of experience, adapting his delivery to each person and team.

Bob Chandra

Bob Chandra

General partner at Method Fund

Guido joined when the project was still on paper and brought it to launch, running a team of five while staying hands-on with the code. He brought AI coding assistants into the team early, and it accelerated development. I'd hire him again.

Lorenzo Gentile

Lorenzo Gentile

Co-Founder & CTO at GenieAI

The engineers picked it up quickly because it made their day-to-day work simpler. We're still working with basically the same setup he put in place, and it holds up well. Guido is a solid choice.

Cristian Greco

Cristian Greco

Founding Head of Machine Learning at GenieAI

I could hand him an open-ended problem and he'd come back with a working solution, tests, and a clear explanation of the trade-offs he made. I'd recommend him to any team serious about AI engineering.

About Me

What I doI help development teams go AI-first: from synchronous coding sessions to autonomous agents that work in parallel without supervision. I also design and build production agentic systems (voice assistants, workflow automation, multi-agent architectures).

What I bringMy research background made me methodical about evidence and uncertainty. Nine years as a tech lead keep that discipline tied to working software.

How I workRemote-first, worldwide. Short-term contracts (1-6 months), 2-4 days per week. I come in, build the infrastructure and the process, train the team, and leave them self-sufficient.
