Technology leader. Hands-on builder.

I build software.
And the teams
behind it.

From the details in the code
to the direction of the organisation.

Technology / People / Impact

01 / Italy, then Finland

Before products,
there were questions.

I studied computer engineering in Milan, then went to Oulu as an Erasmus student.

In Finland, research became something people could touch: public city displays, 3D interfaces and mixed-reality games.

Milan: BSc. Oulu: study, research, early startups.

03 / Leadership and the work

Lead the whole.
Stay in the work.

I’ve built an engineering organisation from its first hire, and led teams delivering banking and wealth platforms.

Today that means strategy, architecture and AI engineering workflows, with quality checks and clear human accountability.

Direction and detail belong together.

04 / A person beyond the role

A different
kind of office.

During my final year in Australia, I worked while travelling New South Wales in a bus.

Physics, music, audiobooks. And still building things for the simple pleasure of making them work.

Stay curious. Keep asking why.

05 / Projects

Small experiments.

I’m curious about how things move, sound, and come to life. These small experiments bring together art, science, and code: a way to learn by making things you can play with.

06 / The next conversation

What’s next?

Let’s build something together.
