About me

Curious by nature, engineer by training.

I'm a Computer Engineer with a strong interest in artificial intelligence, software engineering and the endless possibilities that technology can offer. I enjoy understanding how things work under the hood and, whenever I can, turning ideas into something tangible.

My curiosity doesn't stop at software. I've always been fascinated by electronics and robotics, and I often build small projects just for the pleasure of making something work. One of my favorite projects was a simple plant-watering system that measured soil humidity and automatically watered the plant. There is something particularly satisfying about soldering a circuit and watching an idea become a real, working object.

I grew up in a small town in Southern Italy and have been living in Milan for the past five years. Moving from a small town to a big city has given me a very different perspective, even if I still feel like a country boy at heart.

Outside of technology, music and literature are a big part of my life. I listen to almost everything — except trap will probably never have a place in my heart. I particularly enjoy classical music, jazz and Italian singer-songwriters. I play both piano and guitar, with Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett among my favorite pianists. One of my favorite books is White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky.

I'm fascinated by new ideas and emerging technologies, and I'd love to eventually take my experience abroad, meet new people and explore different environments.
