I make the technology decisions a business runs on.
Fractional CTO work for product teams that need senior technical decisions, and AI agents for companies with repeatable processes.

Twenty-plus years of technical judgement
I'm Matteo Gazzurelli, fractional CTO and agentic AI consultant with MaGa Srl in Brescia. 20+ years and 250+ projects taught me which technology a business can run on. Today I decide where AI agents fit, then see them into production.

How I choose the technology
I choose the technology on the case: the systems already in place, the data available, who will maintain it.
Agent or workflow?
The first question in every project. A plain workflow covers many repetitive tasks; an agent earns its place when the work needs judgement across several steps. I answer it before any code is written.
How I decideGoogle, Anthropic or something else
Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and Claude Managed Agents are the managed platforms; Google ADK and Claude Agent SDK are the frameworks for building and owning the agent. Which pair fits depends on your systems and your team.
Google vs Anthropic, as of October 2026 Google ADK integrationThe winner changes with the case. I tell you which option fits yours, and why, before we start.
How I work
An engagement takes one of three shapes. Each one ends with something your team keeps.
Assessment
I look at the process or the product as it runs today, with the people who run it, and I say what an agent would change and what your systems allow.
You get a written plan, with a go or no-go for each use case.
Build, with your team
I design and build the first agents alongside your developers, with a person checking the steps where a mistake would cost. Your team learns the stack as we build.
You get agents in production and the people who can maintain them.
Advisory over time
As fractional CTO I stay on as the senior technical voice: architecture, hiring, releases, and the calls on AI systems that today need a senior in the room.
You get technical decisions made, written down and followed through.
Prices are agreed after the first conversation, once the scope is clear.
Selected work
Three engagements, anonymised. The sector, what the client needed, what changed.
- Industrial software, regulated releases
Releases took months and stakeholders saw progress only at the end.
Read the caseReleases about every three or four weeks, reliable dates, progress visible along the way.
- Education SaaS
The product grew faster than the team's technical decisions.
Read the caseArchitecture and priority decisions, written down, stopped being reopened every month.
- Manufacturing SME, Northern Italy
Office work still ran on email, spreadsheets and people's memory.
Read the caseThe person who re-keyed the data now checks the agent's work.

Why AI hasn't replaced software engineers (yet)
If AI writes all the code, why does Anthropic still hire developers? Why I wrote this Because I’m tired. Tired of watching smart, capable people — founders,…
