External engineer working with qonto (stefano.amorelli.ext@qonto.com — the .ext suffix suggests contractor/external status). Built the first beta of Qonto’s MCP in summer 2025; the production MCP launched ~2026-06-19 was rebuilt from it with an added security layer.
From Italy, lives in Tallinn, Estonia.
Technical owner of the MCP conversation: fielded questions about tools/telemetry (52 tools, no prompt logging, tool-level visibility, list-transactions most called, file-upload tools shipped the week of the call).
Sharp evaluator — asked the two hardest product questions on the 2026-06-26 call: geographic relevance (Brex ranking first in queries despite not operating in Europe) and how memory/personalized Claude contexts undermine incognito test runs.
[idea] His read of Qonto’s MCP usage (2026-06-26): users are mostly building financial dashboards, inferred from list-transactions call volume.
Open questions
Scope of his engagement at Qonto (agency? solo contractor? how long-term?).
