Who I am
Ivan Dorna
I have been designing and managing systems, data and workflows since 2001. Anthilla, which I founded in 2013, is the company form of a longer journey: a continuity of experience, not a starting point.
The in-between generationFor your role
I belong to the generation that lived the transition from the analog to the digital era. Understanding technology without depending on it, knowing how to leverage it without being bound by it.
Balance between order and chaos
Imagine a system where every element has a precise role and the balance between order and chaos is the key to making it work at its best. That is how I see technology, strategic thinking and, in a sense, life.
A global approachFor your role
Most people focus only on the final result, underestimating data privacy management or cyber-attack risks. I apply a global, careful and aware approach, analysing every phase of the process.
Approach
Continuity under changing names
Systems expert, not labels
What we call cloud, edge, fog today was once called emulation, then virtualization. I have been working on those things since before 2002.
In practiceFor your role
On VMware and QEMU/KVM I did research and development, beta testing, architecture and implementation, when those technologies were changing the market. The name changes, the competence is continuous and deep: it is always about running systems efficiently, resiliently and under control.
Long-term vision
Every project I develop is based not only on performance and innovation, but on a long-term vision. I do not sell temporary models: I build flexible architectures, capable of adapting to change.
IT as valueFor your role
For many companies IT is seen as a cost. My work is about turning it into strategic value: a more efficient, scalable and competitive business.
Philosophy
Operating convictions and direction
Fog/edge before the cloud
The cloud has become a condominium: vendor lock-in, opaque costs, unpredictable latencies. For Italian SMEs and regulated sectors, sovereign fog/edge is better.
WhyFor your role
Latency under 5ms (vs 50-200ms hyperscalers), predictable costs, data sovereignty.
AI applied with judgment
Not AI everywhere, but where it generates measurable value. Local, privacy-first, under control.
Science and human potential
The link between science and human potential is fascinating. I study ancient history and quantum physics: the connections between these fields are fundamental for conceiving sustainable technological models.
What I do
Resilient infrastructure
Fog/edge-first architectures, redundancy, disaster recovery, continuous monitoring. Total operational control, vendor-neutral.
Software and logical design
Modular, scalable, evolvable systems. Software that mirrors real processes, not the other way around.
AI and cognitive frameworks
V9, automation of processes and decisions, always with local control and privacy.
The professional ecosystem
Anthilla Srl
Since 2013, the parent company: infrastructure, V9 framework, FLUX kernel, AIKB hub. Founder and technical lead. It is not enough to develop software or optimize infrastructure: you have to create intelligent and sustainable technological ecosystems.
Scighera
Customer-facing operational laboratory (skunkworks). Brand owner, strategic decision maker.
Let's work together
If you are here
You are probably not looking for technical consulting alone. You are looking for someone who can understand your vision, optimize what you have and build something solid for the future.
