Stefano Russo

Full-stack engineer in Italy, front end to infrastructure.

I go by Samsey online. I've been writing code since 2014 and studied computer science at Sapienza. Lately I've been building AI agents. If you'd like to work together, email me.

What runs on the cluster

Frontend

Most of my front-end work is in Angular and TypeScript: customer-facing apps, internal dashboards and chat interfaces for AI agents. I've also worked with Vue.js.

this.http.post<Answer>('/api/agent', {
  question: 'What does the warranty cover?',
});

Agents

So far I've built AI agents that use RAG to answer questions from a knowledge base. I write them in Python with LangChain or Microsoft Agent Framework and serve them with FastAPI.

@app.post("/api/agent")
def ask(req: Question) -> str:
    docs = retriever.invoke(req.question)
    return answer(req.question, docs)

Backend

I use Spring Boot for REST APIs behind web apps and for event-driven services that talk over RabbitMQ. I've also built an API in Go.

@RabbitListener(queues = "order.shipped")
void onShipped(OrderShipped e) {
    orders.markShipped(e.orderId(), e.at());
}

Data

I've worked with PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite, and I use Liquibase to version schema changes.

--liquibase formatted sql
--changeset samsey:42
ALTER TABLE orders ADD shipped_at timestamp;

Infrastructure

I package services as Docker images and deploy them to Kubernetes clusters running on Linux.

FROM eclipse-temurin:21-jre
COPY build/libs/app.jar /app.jar
ENTRYPOINT ["java", "-jar", "/app.jar"]

Work

Manzo Ricambi

Manzo Ricambi has been selling appliance spare parts since 1950. I co-developed the WordPress and WooCommerce theme for their new site, which lists more than 20,000 products in five languages. We wrote the live search and the dark mode from scratch.

University and side projects

Exposure Fusion (source on GitHub, opens in new tab)

A C++ and OpenCV implementation of Mertens, Kautz and Van Reeth's exposure fusion algorithm, which merges bracketed photos into one well-exposed image.
WASAPhoto (source on GitHub, opens in new tab)

A photo-sharing app I built for a university course, with follows, likes, comments and a personal feed. The front end is in Vue.js and the REST API in Go.
Simple Botnet (source on GitHub, opens in new tab)

I built this small botnet for a security course, to see how command-and-control works from the attacker's side. A Flask server sends commands to Python clients.
FFA: Free For All (source on GitHub, opens in new tab)

A free-for-all game mode for Minecraft servers on Spigot 1.15.2, which saves player stats to MySQL or SQLite.
