About

Software quality, reliable infrastructure, and technical support built around people.

For more than 16 years, I've worked where product reliability meets real user needs. I test biometric SDKs and multimodal devices, investigate difficult field issues, support international teams, and manage IT infrastructure. That experience also shapes the mobile apps I build: focused tools with clear interfaces, no unnecessary tracking, and no dark patterns.

Experience

16+ years in software quality, biometrics, technical support, and IT.

Multinational Tech Corporation

2011 - Present

AI Champion

2026 - Present

I support AI adoption for around 50 colleagues in R&D through practical training, clear guidance on company policies, and hands-on use of approved internal tools.

Software QA & IVVQ Engineer

2014 - Present

I test biometric SDKs and multimodal scanners, and develop Python and C++ tools for automated diagnostics and log analysis. My work includes anti-spoofing certifications such as iBeta PAD and border-control validations for the EU Entry/Exit System.

Head of Support

2018 - 2024

I led global third-level technical support and root-cause analysis for complex field issues. I also managed onboarding for major government customers and led the migration to ServiceNow after a corporate acquisition.

IT Manager

2016 - 2024

I managed VMware, Cisco, and SonicWall infrastructure and coordinated the post-acquisition integration of IT networks. I also reviewed GDPR compliance and data-retention policies for internal biometric datasets.

Selected apps

Independent mobile apps designed to be useful, calm, and private.

From accessible color recognition with Argyo and private emotional journaling with HicNow to offline Italian card games, each app solves a specific problem with clear interfaces, transparent behavior, and no advertising.

HicNow logo

Local-first emotional grounding

HicNow

A private emotional journal to pause, name the moment, and keep it close.

HicNow maps your current emotional state on a continuous model inspired by Russell, then turns it into a private capsule with text, audio, photos, or video. The calm capture flow supports emotional grounding, while every memory stays stored locally on your device.

  • Grounding map — A continuous mood selection flow designed to reduce friction and invite calm reflection.
  • Private media capsules — Each moment can be stored with text, audio, photo, or video and kept entirely on-device.
  • Local-first archive — Capsules, preferences, reminders, and media are designed to remain on the device by default, without requiring an account or a cloud backend.

Current status Available on the App Store.

Argyo logo

Accessible color analysis

Argyo

Identify and describe colors with confidence, from your camera or photo library.

Argyo is an accessible color recognition app for camera input and gallery images. As a colorblind developer, I built the tool I could not find: clear color names, HEX values, and a contrast-aware interface that never relies on color alone. No ads and no tracking.

  • Gallery and camera flows — The MVP covers both static image analysis and live camera sampling with accessible overlays.
  • Evocative naming — Argyo prefers memorable color names before technical labels to make daily communication easier.
  • Accessibility-first rules — Every state combines color, icon, and label so the interface remains understandable for every user.

Current status Available on the App Store.

Pure Scopa logo

Classic Italian Scopa, no noise

Pure Scopa

Play classic Italian Scopa and 4-player team Scopa offline, against AI opponents.

Pure Scopa brings classic Italian Scopa and its 4-player team variant to mobile. The AI plays offline and receives cards under the same rules as the player. There are no accounts, ads, tokens, or energy systems, and matches, settings, and statistics remain on your device.

  • Classic Scopa and 4-player team Scopa — Two classic modes with traditional scoring: cards, denari, settebello, primiera, and scope.
  • Offline AI with three levels — Three difficulty levels — easy, normal, expert — that change how the AI plays, never the cards it receives.
  • Local-first by design — Save/resume, settings, and statistics live on the device. No account, no cloud backend, no telemetry.

Current status Available on the App Store.

Pure Briscola logo

Classic Italian Briscola, no noise

Pure Briscola

Play classic Italian Briscola offline, with five AI difficulty levels.

Pure Briscola brings the classic Italian card game to mobile with five levels of offline AI. The cards are dealt under the same rules at every difficulty. There are no accounts, ads, tokens, or energy systems, and matches, settings, and statistics remain on your device.

  • Classic Italian Briscola — Authentic two-player Briscola with traditional scoring and trump mechanics.
  • Offline AI with five levels — Five difficulty levels — from beginner to expert — each with distinct strategies that improve play without cheating.
  • Local-first by design — Save/resume, settings, and statistics live on the device. No account, no cloud backend, no telemetry.

Current status Available on the App Store.

Diminuendo logo

Sleep timer for any music player

Diminuendo

A sleep timer that pauses any Android music player when it is time to rest.

Diminuendo is a lightweight sleep timer for Android that works with Spotify, YouTube Music, and other media players. Choose a duration and the app pauses the active player when the timer ends. No account, ads, or tracking; your settings remain on the device.

  • Works with any player — Spotify, YouTube Music, local players — Diminuendo detects the active media player via Notification Listener and sends it a standard pause command when the timer expires.
  • Calm timer expiry — At expiry, the app detects the active player and sends a standard pause — no jarring interruptions, no manual action needed.
  • Local-first by design — Your settings stay on the device. No accounts, no cloud backend, no telemetry.

Current status Available for Android on GitHub.

Morsino logo

Private food tracking, made simple

Morsino

Log meals naturally, review every estimate, and keep your food history on your device.

Morsino is a calm, local-first food journal and nutrition tracker built for clarity and privacy. Describe meals naturally in English or Italian, dictate with on-device speech, look up packaged products by barcode or name, or capture nutrition tables with on-device OCR. Morsino interprets foods and portions, clearly showing estimates, sources, and uncertainty before anything is saved to your private on-device SQLite database. No account, no cloud sync, no tracking, and no ads.

  • Natural meal logging — Write or dictate meals naturally in English or Italian. An offline deterministic parser handles aliases, plurals, preparation states, and colloquial portions without remote network dependencies.
  • Review before save & honest uncertainty — Inspect calculated calories, macros, portions, and confidence flags before saving. Missing nutrition remains honestly unknown rather than fabricated into zero or false precision.
  • Offline catalog & smart capture — Includes a bundled read-only catalog for offline food resolution, on-device camera OCR for nutrition labels, and optional Open Food Facts lookup by barcode or product name with local caching.

Current status Morsino 1.0.0 for iOS 15.5+. The App Store link will be added once it is available.

Labs & Open Source

Open-source projects and experiments.

A lightweight, unobtrusive teleprompter that stays on top while you work or record. Paste your script, adjust the speed, and focus on what you want to say.

Subvocal project preview

Open Source / Experimental AI

Subvocal

An experimental tensor-native agent for local AI.

Subvocal is a Node.js experiment that bypasses conventional HTTP and JSON layers to communicate directly with llama.cpp. It explores shared-memory dual-agent architectures and direct KV-cache manipulation for local LLM workflows. It is a research prototype, not a production tool.
