Short Bio

I am the owner of TOOL80 srl, a small company providing consultancy in the field of digital encoding, associate with MPAI Community, an international non-profit organisation with the mission is to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled digital data compression specifications.

I am also as freelance an indipendent scientific and technology consultant, providing support to EU Commission collaborating with the Unit T.1 - Joint Research Center in Ispra in doing research about the adoption of digital technologies jointly with the Public Sector Technology Watch observatory estabilished by EC and publishing reports like this one

Competence

competence I am an expert in digital transformation, in particular in the public sector. Distributed systems, artificial intelligence, blockchain, data science, and several types of digital public service implementation. I worked and I still work with data (hopefully open) and several software applications applying open innovation and co-design principles in many different public sector projects.. trying to hack the bureaucracy as much as I could. I have a software engineering background and I am a technology lover, but I developed my career mainly as a consultant, starting with big brands (Telecom and then Microsoft) and going around in several places, not only in Italy. Finally, in 2008, I landed in Trentino, where I set up the family, and I happily stayed there in the heart of the European Alps, in a very nice place to live.

Interests

I have several interests, and I like everything that could be considered “new” even if I don’t disregards the past, history and philosophy, and all that other people did in the past. I like politics, and I think everybody must contribute to our democracy, to keep it up and running, to shake away populism and demagogies social life, new technology, music, cinema, arts… I like everything hides passion and bright ideas. I love future and I need to think about the future.. I don’t want to be dominated by fears.. of any kind. Humanity is not negative or positive, it is, and so it goes.
