About | Christian Mulato | Chemical Engineer & Software Architect

Professional Journey

A unique combination of Chemical Engineering rigor and enterprise software expertise

Chemical Engineering Foundation (UFPR 1991-2000) + Java Technology Specialization (UTFPR 2007-2008, Lato Sensu)

Graduated as Chemical Engineer from UFPR (1991-2000), with a Specialization in Java Technology from UTFPR (2007-2008, Lato Sensu), bringing a rigorous process control mindset to software development. The principles of precision, reproducibility, and safety-first design from chemical engineering directly translate to enterprise software architecture—especially critical for pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing sectors.

Key Principles Applied:

Stoichiometric balance → Explicit dependencies and versioning
Process control → Continuous monitoring and health checks
Safety margins → Defensive programming and input validation
Documentation standards → Comprehensive technical documentation

18 Years Java Enterprise Experience

Extensive hands-on experience with enterprise Java technologies, including Jakarta EE (formerly Java EE), Spring Framework, Hibernate, and production-grade authentication systems. Specialized in legacy system modernization and cloud migration strategies.

Core Technologies:

Jakarta EE 10.1 / Java EE
Spring Framework & Spring Boot
Hibernate / JPA
OAuth 2.1 / OIDC with PKCE
PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes

AI/Python Transition

Currently transitioning to AI and Python automation, bringing modern machine learning capabilities to legacy system modernization. Focus on process automation for pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing, with GAMP 5 compliance and regulatory validation.

Modern Stack:

Python 3.11+ for automation
Machine Learning (TensorFlow/PyTorch)
SCADA system integration
AI-driven quality control

Swiss Market Focus

Italian citizen with focus on the Swiss market, particularly Ticino (Lugano/Mendrisio) and Zug regions. Specialized consulting for pharmaceutical, chemical, and industrial manufacturing companies requiring legacy system modernization with regulatory compliance.

Service Areas:

Ticino: Lugano, Mendrisio
Zug: Financial and industrial hub
On-site consulting available
EU/Swiss market access (Italian citizenship)

The Engineer-Programmer Philosophy

"In chemical engineering, we don't discard proven processes—we evolve them. The same principle applies to software."

Christian Mulato

This philosophy drives my approach to legacy system modernization. Rather than viewing legacy code as technical debt to be discarded, I see it as technical capital—proven, battle-tested systems that have served businesses reliably for years.

The goal is not to replace, but to evolve: modernizing architecture while preserving business logic, enhancing security while maintaining stability, and introducing new capabilities while respecting existing workflows.

Key Principles:

Precision: Every change is measured, tested, and validated
Reproducibility: Processes are documented and repeatable
Safety-First: Security and stability are non-negotiable

Compliance: GAMP 5, FDA, and regulatory standards
Documentation: Comprehensive technical documentation
Gradual Evolution: Phased modernization with minimal disruption
