About me
I’m Alessandro Diaferia, based in Milan, remote VP of Software Engineering at Beeline. Developer at heart, tinkerer, builder, servant leader for great technical teams. I am fascinated by what AI unlocks, I love that it lets me build side projects and automate a lot of my own workflows.
What I do
I lead a remote team at Beeline, building Beeline Professional, a SaaS in the VMS and workforce management space. I help my teams understand and optimise for operational cost, identify and build for real customer needs, and minimise gut-feeling-based decisions in favour of data-informed ones.
What I’m building
On top of my day job, I build side projects to remain close to the development stack. AI helps me make the ideas that pop to mind as I go about my day. A few of the things I’m currently working on.
remotevibe — start a Claude coding session on your own VPS from your phone: pick a repo, a container spins up with a checkout and remote-control, you edit and push on the go. Go, MIT, source on GitHub.
stimmo — a fair-price check for apartment listings in Milan. Anchored to official OMI quotations across the city’s 42 zones, with every multiplier printed in the report rather than hidden behind a model. Python, Apache-2.0, source on GitHub.
rippleroom — shared context for teams shipping with coding agents. Agents read the room, narrate checkpoints and escalate the judgment calls, instead of that context dying in a private terminal session. MCP over streamable HTTP.
alediaferia.com — this blog: I was finally able to migrate it to a custom stack and abandon Wordpress for good. GitHub, Cloudflare, Hetzner, help me fully manage my stack.
xtract (🔒 not public yet) — a little GitHub Actions based agent that pings me on Telegram a few times a day about interesting X posts I might want to contribute to. Will blog about it soon.
And more to come!
What I write here
You’ll find my essays on building and engineering management, as well as my experiments and side projects. You can find my older posts in the archive, and most essays go out first on The Main Thread, before landing here.
