Solo AI consultant and builder, based in Italy, working remotely worldwide. Nine years across automation, training, and operations; the last two building on frontier models. I evaluate models, design agentic workflows, set governance, and train teams to run the system without me.
Three principles guide everything I ship:
- Fix the process first. Automating a broken process just breaks things faster.
- You stay in control. Approval gates, audit logs, override any decision.
- You keep it when I leave. Documentation, training, and monitoring ship with every build.
- 🔭 Building Elitza, a bring-your-own-key AI agent for the terminal, browser, and desktop (memory, personas, skills, MCP).
- 🛡️ Building AKLI (API Key Leak Intercept), a Chrome extension that warns you before you paste an API key, secret, or PII into any AI chat. Detection runs locally; free tier is open source.
- 🧪 Benchmarking frontier models on real business workflows for a domain-expert panel (13+ models so far).
