PROFESSIONAL SERVICES · BASILICATA & REMOTE
Technology that supports real work.
IT infrastructure, software and automation tailored to independent professionals, professional firms, small and medium-sized businesses and engineering teams.
I am Luca Atella, Software Architect and Backend Engineer. I start with your existing workflows, the data you need to protect and the problems you need to solve. From planning to implementation and verification, I focus on maintainability, security, practical costs and room to grow.

One technical point of contact
Assessment, design and implementation—from operational concerns to architectural choices.
Continuity before complexity
Restorable backups, maintainable systems, monitoring and recovery procedures.
Proportionate solutions
I assess existing equipment and services before recommending new purchases or subscriptions.
How I can help
01 · INFRASTRUCTURE & DATA
Servers, networks and private cloud
Business files and services should be available to authorized users and recoverable when something fails. I design and modernize Linux and Windows infrastructure, controlled remote access and storage sized for the actual workload.
- Local servers, centralized file storage (NAS) and isolated environments for services
- File access and collaboration, including self-hosted tools where appropriate
- Private VPNs, permissions and network access boundaries
- Multiple backup copies, restore verification and recovery planning
Debian · Docker · NAS · VPN · Storage · Nextcloud where appropriate
02 · SUPPORT & OPTIMIZATION
Diagnose issues and improve daily work
Slow computers, legacy applications and untested backups can interrupt daily work. I diagnose the issue, improve equipment worth keeping, and help establish predictable operations.
- Hardware and software diagnosis, upgrades and computer refurbishment
- Migration and consolidation of workstations, systems and data
- Application compatibility, including software that needs different versions of Java
- Monitoring, preventive maintenance and operational documentation

03 · SOFTWARE & INTEGRATIONS
Make existing systems work together
When applications cannot exchange information, or teams repeatedly copy data by hand, I build dedicated software, backend services and integrations that fit the workflow.
- Dedicated applications, backend services and connections between applications (APIs)
- Automation of repetitive operational processes
- Ingestion and transformation of data from heterogeneous sources
- Modular architecture, modernization and ongoing improvements
- Deployment, tests, logging and technical documentation

04 · AI & AUTOMATION
Reduce repetitive work, responsibly
I evaluate whether conventional automation or AI could help classify, extract, organize or retrieve information, taking the business data involved into account. Work starts with a feasibility assessment and a prototype to check benefits and limitations.
- Workflow review and practical feasibility assessment
- Prototypes and integrations with business tools
- Hardware, running costs and data requirements for local models or external services
- Real-world testing, human oversight and measurable outcomes

How an engagement works
1. Discovery
We review goals, devices, applications, data, operational risks and budget constraints.
2. Clear proposal
I outline priorities, options, scope and commercial terms for agreement.
3. Implementation & verification
I build and test the agreed solution, including access and recovery checks where relevant.
4. Handover & support
Practical documentation, handover and, if needed, separately agreed maintenance.
Work you can review
My case studies document actual problems, decisions and outcomes. They show how I approach software integration and compatibility; each proposed solution is assessed against the needs of the specific project.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PROJECT
Where should we start?
Describe what is not working, what you want to improve and, if known, the approximate number of devices, users or locations. You do not need to prepare a technical specification.

Based in Basilicata, Italy, I consider remote or on-site engagements depending on the project. Scope, timing, pricing and ongoing support are agreed case by case.
