Luca Mezzalira

Director @ 50 cents media

🎤 Building an agentic harness for your projects | Luca has spent 20+ years helping engineering organisations design distributed systems that scale, not just technically, but organisationally.

At DAZN, as VP of Architecture, he led the transformation towards microservices and micro-frontends at streaming scale, helping reshape how engineering teams delivered software across the organisation. At AWS, he partnered with some of the world's largest organisations as a Principal Solutions Architect, leading the EMEA go-to-market strategy for serverless, delivering keynote and breakout sessions at re:Invent, and facilitating architecture workshops, Event Storming sessions, and distributed systems design across industries including retail, finance, media, travel, healthcare, energy, insurance, and the public sector. He spent years turning micro-frontends from a nascent idea into an established architectural discipline through research, experimentation, open source, and the O'Reilly book that has become a reference for engineering teams modernising their front-end architectures. He has helped hundreds of organisations worldwide design and scale modern web applications using these principles. Today, his research focuses on how AI is reshaping software architecture: from engineering workflows and software design to the evolving role of architects in an AI-native world.
