AI engineer in training, with 4+ years in e-commerce.

I'm finishing a Bachelor of Software Engineering (AI) at Torrens University in November 2026. Before that, I spent four years building e-commerce platforms, integrations and automation for businesses in Italy, including Cartalytic, a startup I co-founded.

Today I run my own Shopify store, Rhytm, and I'm moving that experience toward AI engineering: LLM applications, retrieval and evaluation. My final-year project is a student support platform with an AI triage agent, where I'm project manager and AI engineer.

Your Project

Applied AI solutions, automation, and agentic systems are my field. If something in your business is manual, slow, or error-prone, I'd love to hear about it.

Student Support Platform

A support platform for students where an AI agent triages incoming tickets and routes them to the right team.

Torrens University final-year project. I'm the project manager and an AI engineer in a team of [N]. Proposal and planning are done, and implementation is next. The repository will go public once there is a working prototype.
