    About

    Engineer with the instincts of a strategist — building AI that ships.

    Currently a Forward Deployed Engineer at Wonderful.ai — the enterprise agent platform. I help large companies move AI agents from concept into production: deep integrations with CRM, ERP and internal systems, agent configuration across languages and regulatory contexts, and post-deployment monitoring.

    Before that, three years at Accenture Industry X — most recently as Senior Software Engineer. Owned backend features for a mission-critical medical platform, improved API performance up to 70%, defined architectures from scratch, and led international teams across Italy and India.

    Earlier I worked on Deep Learning research with a focus on Computer Vision — GANs for synthetic data generation, CNNs for image classification, and applied ML projects bridging research and shipped products.

    Experience

    Building mission-critical systems, open-source infrastructure, and AI products.

    Selected work

    Selected work — from AI products to research and robotics.

    AI Products

    AI-powered applications that extend human capabilities.

    Patter

    Patter

    Open-source SDK

    An open-source SDK that gives AI agents a phone number — connecting any agent to real phone calls in 4 lines of code. Python and TypeScript at parity, MIT licensed, sub-500ms time-to-first-audio. Pluggable across 27+ providers including OpenAI Realtime, Anthropic, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, Twilio and Telnyx.

    Software & Research

    GAN for CNN Accuracy

    Master Thesis

    Research project exploring how GAN-generated synthetic data can improve CNN classification accuracy in low-data scenarios. Part of the International Master thesis.

    Robotics

    Hardware projects combining mechanical engineering with software.

    Robotic Arm
    Suspended

    Robotic Arm

    Suspended

    Currently suspended. The final vision: mount a camera on the arm and use AI image-recognition with motors driven via Arduino, so the AI controls the robot to play backgammon against a real person.
