AI creative technologist & product engineer

Puglia, Italy (CET) · EU citizen

I turn scientific and technical ideas into interactive experiences. I combine a computer-engineering foundation with AI engineering, UX/UI and product development. I bring working prototypes and customer collaboration to creative teams, while continuing to grow my design practice.
