# Gioacchino Poletto

> Software developer and Fractional CTO with 30 years of experience. I build inclusive, accessible systems and write fiction as Joachim Noir.

I work mainly with PHP, Python, Go, Ruby, and Ruby on Rails. I help startups and organisations turn complex technical challenges into simple, elegant solutions — from early product strategy through to full-stack development.
