I am writing this from a desk in Como (yes, the George Clooney lake). This is a collection of my notes, thoughts, and stories collected while exploring the world around the things I love.Currently working with AI & data in the fintech space.

About me
I worked as Senior Data Engineer at , then as Head of AI at . Along the way, I've helped ship some pretty ambitious products, and I usually write about what I learn in my posts section.
When I have time, I like contributing to the open-source community, including work on the Python Notion SDK. I also created a Microsoft Fabric course with DataCamp; I guess that makes me a teacher somehow.
It doesn't come naturally, but I like challenging myself by speaking at conferences, meetups, and meetings. And since my memory isn't great 😇, I keep a huge second brain in Obsidian to store everything I need. For the fuller story (or just to say hi) find me on LinkedIn.
