Bio

Currently, I’m a software developer at IBM Research, working on AI for code and LLM evaluation.

I grew up in a small town in North Italy, and moved to NYC in 2014.

I came to New York to study languages and music: I used to think that computers were just the boring machines I had to wrestle with to make my school presentations look half-decent.

Things changed when I took an Intro to CS class on a whim. I still remember the spark I felt when I wrote my first program (a Python function to check whether any string is a palindrome): it turned out that I could tell these incredibly powerful machines exactly what to do, and that thinking up clever things for them to do was a lot of fun. As I programmed more and mores, I realized something else: computers are incredibly empowering, and we can use them to build creative things and empower others.

I’m passionate about free software, jazz, and cats.
