Rocco Milluzzo
Software Engineer, Founder, and CEO in Pisa, Italia
Sicilian Tech Addict. Software engineer. Founder. Still writing code.
I’m Rocco Milluzzo, a computer engineer and Founder & CEO of Romiltec, based in Calcinaia, near Pisa, Tuscany. I build software, SaaS platforms, and AI integrations that help businesses turn complex problems into working products.
At Romiltec, I lead a bootstrapped team of five working across software development, cloud infrastructure, and artificial intelligence. We develop products and work alongside businesses as their IT team. Our flagship platform, AI Multisite, serves more than 45 online publications and helped us grow from a software services company into a product business.
My work connects the whole system: backend, frontend, databases, infrastructure, and AI. Laravel, WordPress, DevOps, and local AI models are part of my daily work. I stay involved from the first architecture decisions to the code that reaches production.
Before founding Romiltec in 2023, I served as CTO at Sinerbit, spent eight years as CTO at Tuscany Leather, and co-founded iDressItalian. Those experiences shaped how I build e-commerce platforms, lead engineering teams, and connect technology with business needs.
It all started in Sicily with a NES and my dad’s PC. I learned DOS because I wanted to install and play video games. Soon, getting things to run became wanting to understand how they worked—and building things of my own.
I grew up in Scordia, graduated in Computer Engineering at the University of Catania in 2010 with a robotics thesis, and took part in the international EUROBOT competition with the university team. In 2011, I moved to Tuscany. The Sicilian roots stayed.
That curiosity follows me home. My homelab is where I experiment with self-hosting, automation, and local AI. I share what I learn on my software development and AI blog and through community talks.
From DOS to AI, I’m still driven by the same question: what can I build with this?
