Twenty-five years of making things work, now pointed at AI.

What I do now

I work across the full AI stack — data analysis, machine learning, deep learning and large language models, from training and fine-tuning through inference, evaluation and deployment. In practice that means I am as comfortable writing the evaluation harness as the model code, and more interested in whether a system holds up in production than in whether it looked good in a notebook.

My day job is municipal IT: network, infrastructure and security for a public administration. It is not glamorous, and it is the single best thing that ever happened to my engineering judgment. Running infrastructure that other people depend on teaches you what "it works on my machine" is actually worth.

Alongside that I build and publish — multi-agent LLM pipelines, DeFi security tooling, XR interaction work, fine-tuning studies — and write them up properly, because a result nobody can reproduce is not a result.

Experience

• Oct 2025 — Present

  Information Technology Officer

  Public administration · Sardinia, Italy · Full-time

  I run the technical infrastructure behind a municipal administration serving roughly 130 civil servants and the community around them — network, systems, security and compliance, alongside the slower work of modernizing public-sector IT so that services actually get better rather than just newer.

  Research Fellow

  Università degli Studi di Cagliari · Cagliari, Sardinia · Part-time

  Applied research on computer vision and large language models. Two peer-reviewed papers came out of this period: a roadside monocular 3D object detection framework, and a system that turns natural-language questions from students, instructors and managers into knowledge-graph queries.

  Data Analyst

  Independent · Cagliari, Sardinia

  Analysis and modelling work taken on directly alongside my degree — the period where the statistics stopped being coursework and started having consequences.

  Wind Turbine & Blade Repair Technician

  IVPC Eolica · Bortigiadas (SS), Italy

  Maintenance, fault-finding and repair on V47 and V52 turbines — electrical, electronic, hydraulic and mechanical — and team leader for the blade repair crew, working both on the ground and at height. Over 100 machines a year in routine maintenance, 95% of faults cleared inside 24 hours, and better than 99% availability across a 35-unit fleet.
