My experience with computers started more than 15 years ago. At the time all was just an interest in the potential of automatization with computers. The day I discovered that I could program them to do things for me everything evolved and spiraled in deeper research and development, I started doing hello worlds in C++, and some year later I was coding small 2D games in java applet for fun:

Growing up I had the tendence to have friends older than me, one day they started playing sudoku. I tried it, I was bad and could get why my friends were so obsessed with something so repetitive and boring. So I used my programming skills to developed a sudoku solver with rule's checking and recursivity. That's how I won my sudoku's supremacy.

One day I was reading about the Manhattan alghoritm and realized I could implement an adaptive intelligence for the ghosts of my pac man clone, so I did it. This was my first rudimental approach to AI.

Years passed and got some education and working experience in IT. I got a Federal diploma in Business IT at the school of of business and management informatics in Bellinzona with a double award for the best diploma project. I then worked as a software developer implementing control and command automation software for the swiss highway tunnels. I co-operated with civil engineers requirments, helping in the designing, developing, implementing and testing the software now running in the tunnel of Ligerz in Basel, and the tunnels of the higway axe of Twann, in Bern. Still I kept hearing about AI, especially with the advent of large scale Natural Language Model, and realized I was missing too much knowledge and was needed a new plan. So I moved to Fribourg and started a bachelor program to specialize in Data Engineering studying at the University of Architecture and Engineering of the canton Fribourg, Switzerland.

I have currently aquired all ECTS credits to start a bachelor. Unluckily, the academic settings aren't well designed for enterpreneurship. So, I decided to pause my bachelor to focus on my personal projects and work experience in the AI IT field. I returned in Ticino to work part time as a software developer. My bachelor has been postponed to 2026. This will allows me to propose a more advanced bachelor thesis, with a solid foundation in Generative AI relevant to my core interests. In 2025, I opened my AI Startup: ChaD AI (Coordinated euristic across Domains), which aim at developing Generative AI solutions for the industry, in fields such as al legaltech and healthcare with the idea of democratazing the state of the art of the AI potential. By revolutionizing the way we interact with machines and automate complex tasks using a mixture of classic and generative AI with the due determinism of classic programming. I published a white paper with a demo on the topic of Medical AI, which is available on my public repository.

The modern helvetic jurisdiction is particural sensitive to privacy and security in IT, and I am not underestimating the implication of everything not part of basic IT security declared in the OWASP Top 10. AI is a powerful tool, but it must be used responsibly and ethically. I published a white paper on the topic of AI Model Vulnerabilities: Backdoors in LLMs and Beyond, which is available on my public repository.

As a technical and professional hobby, I manage an enterprise ready multinode kubernetes cluster with support for cloud native aplications, high availability, large scale scaling, backups, metrics, and blue-green gitops. In this cluster I run my personal projects and other services such as a self-hosted Forgejo repository, many HA databases, some websites, a password manager, and many others. This allows me to have full governance over my data and the software I use, while also providing a platform for testing, developing and showcasing my work. I am a Linux enthusiast, currently using Arch linux on my laptop and Aurora, an atomic OS distribution based on Fedora Kinoite, on my desktop workstation. And I am developing a Flutter multiplatform application. My native language is Italian, and I am fluent in English and French.
