Curiosity first, craft after.

The passion for programming came first, somewhere in childhood. My first real steps were in Python: small scripts, scrapers, automations for problems nobody had asked me to solve. Comparative literature and languages came later, at university, and they still shape how I work: structure, rhythm and the exact word matter the same in prose, in prompts and in APIs.

Since 2020 I've been shipping production software in Naples. Angular frontends and CRM extensions first, then healthcare platforms, a React Native patient app and the web platform of a Serie A club, then editorial work: L'Espresso's migration and Forbes Italia's headless rebuild as architect.

In the last few years my center of gravity has moved to AI engineering: RAG pipelines on pgvector, multi-LLM orchestration with LangChain and LangGraph, agent workflows that hold up in production. I like the part where research meets deadline.

Outside client work, the obsession is generative AI in every form: image and video models, open weights running locally on my own machine, agents wired to tools that shouldn't work and sometimes do. I experiment constantly, and a fair share of what I later ship for clients started as one of those experiments.

I speak English and Italian natively, decent French, and enough Japanese to be dangerous in a bookshop.
