I'm Ugo Chirico — CEO & CTO of Cyberneid and Quantum2Pi, PhD candidate in Quantum Technologies. I design secure digital identity systems and pioneer post-quantum cryptography to protect what matters in a quantum world.
Whether you're a startup, enterprise, or institution — I bring deep technical expertise and strategic vision.
Strategic advisory on post-quantum migration, PKI architecture, digital signature systems, and FIDO authentication. Prepare your organization for the quantum threat.
Design and development of e-ID systems, identity verification platforms, smart card middleware, and AI-powered anti-fraud solutions. Proven with national ID projects.
Research partnerships in quantum computing, hybrid quantum-classical algorithms, and quantum-safe cryptographic systems. From academic research to production.
End-to-end system design, technology stack selection, and hands-on development across mobile, web, cloud, and embedded platforms.
Keynotes, workshops, and corporate training on cybersecurity, post-quantum cryptography, digital identity, and AI.
Strategic and technical advisory for deep-tech startups. 3 companies founded, 1 successful exit. Product, tech, and go-to-market guidance.
I hold a Master's degree in Cybernetic Physics from Università di Napoli Federico II and I'm completing my PhD in Quantum Technologies at the same university, researching hybrid quantum-classical optimization algorithms.
I've built critical software infrastructure for national electronic ID systems — the Italian CIE, the CNS, and the Azerbaijan national ID — as well as protocols for qualified digital signature still in use in Italy. I founded Cryptware (sold in 2013), then Cyberneid (2019) and Quantum2Pi.
Author of “Smart Card Programming” and over 30 publications across scientific journals, Computer Programming, Dev, and Mokabyte. Frequent speaker at international cybersecurity and cryptography events.
