Engineer by trade. Builder at heart.
A little about my journey
Always building.
Always curious.
I'm a Forward Deployed Engineer at Syllotips, with a background in AI consulting, consumer crypto, and taking projects from idea to launch.
I also co-founded Builders Garden, a consumer crypto product studio, building cool stuff with some of the sharpest teams in Web3.
In 2022, I co-founded urbe.eth, a community bringing Italian Web3 builders together. We help developers get into the space and opened the first permanent hub for builders in Rome.
