About

I spent almost three years at Nory, designing intelligent scheduling and payroll systems for restaurant groups, and two years at Qonto, working on invoice management for European SMEs.

I studied Communication Sciences in Padova, ran a design studio in Bangkok, and lived in Australia and Thailand before settling in Barcelona. Outside work, I run marathons, play guitar, and make electronic music.

Selected work

A few case studies, and a few experiments.

An AI scheduling workflow for hospitality, where the system generates shifts from forecasted demand and the manager reviews, adjusts and publishes. The beta helped sign Nory's largest enterprise customer, with £5M+ in projected labour savings, with a median of 1.5 minutes to publish a schedule against 11.6 for everyone else.
