About
At the end of 2023, after a trip to San Francisco, I embarked on a journey of building and launching products with my dear friend Gianluca, which eventually led to Anytime.so. In the past, I pursued a degree in Applied Computer Science and AI, attended YC Startup School Live, got selected as a mentee at LeadTheFuture, lived in a hacker house on the Canary Islands, and finished a marathon without training. At age 16 I did my first internship as an iOS engineer and I contributed to multiple projects and companies ever since. I also had the pleasure of being part of the first-ever cohort of the Eric Schmidt-sponsored summer school BOOST, good times.

high-school misc
During high school, first I completed the OSSU self-taught computer science curriculum, then I built several projects, including a client-server battleship game in Java, a web-based school lunch ordering system in PHP, a command-line interface CRM in C++, and a Python-based subnet masks generator
All over the place
I love hanging out with sharp minds. During my time at university, I joined and attended 14+ hackatons, communities and various kinds of tech events. The brightest people from around the country would come together to discuss bleeding-edge ideas or build incredible things in an intense few days. It was eye-opening to observe the endless possibilities brought to life by grouping motivated and passionate individuals together.
