I am an AI Engineer and Senior Backend Engineer with over 10 years of experience spanning both Academia and industry. My background ranges from Philosophy and Ontology Engineering to large-scale backend systems and production-grade Generative AI solutions.
I have designed and delivered robust systems across multiple domains, including Academia, Consultancy, Telecoms, E-commerce, Big Data, Transport, Financial Services & Fintech, Automotive, and IoT. My work consistently bridges strong theoretical foundations with pragmatic engineering, enabling effective translation from research and architecture into real-world impact.
I have worked extensively in international environments across the UK, Germany, and Italy, collaborating with cross-functional and geographically distributed teams.

🚀 Engineering Approach
I am a proactive engineer who values end-to-end ownership. Before writing code, I aim to develop a 360° view of the problem space, and I strongly enjoy being involved early in:
- Requirements definition
- System and architecture design
- Planning and technical decision-making
My focus is on building solutions that are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with real business needs.

- Listening to music (I have a soft spot for Opera and Classical Music)
- Running/fitness in general
- Gaming (RPG, e.g. Divinity, Baldur's Gate, Outward, etc)
- Sci-fi aficionado
