Initializing
AI Engineer & Developer
I build intelligent systems and elegant software at the intersection of research and engineering.
Who I am
About Me
MSc Artificial Intelligence
I came to computer science through biology. My bachelor's in Bioinformatics at the University of Verona taught me to think algorithmically about messy, high-dimensional data — a foundation that maps cleanly onto modern machine learning. I'm now pursuing an MSc in Artificial Intelligence, with research interests centred on language models and deep learning.
I work across the full spectrum of machine learning: information retrieval, supervised classification, language model fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning. I care about rigour — understanding not just what works, but why — and about writing code that survives contact with reality.
Alongside my studies I work as a data analyst, building dashboards and reporting pipelines for retail operations. I also contribute to open-source projects on GitHub, mostly in the ML and developer tooling space.

What I've built
Projects
Research, tools, and applications — from coursework to production.
Comparative Architectures for LLM-Based Email Triage
Evaluates three routing strategies — frozen zero-shot prompting, LoRA fine-tuning, and DistilBERT classification — for automatic assignment of customer-support emails across five departments. LoRA reaches 70.4% accuracy with under 1% trainable parameters; DistilBERT peaks at 76.6%.
Semantic Document Retrieval on the Reuters Corpus
TF-IDF vectorisation and cosine similarity pipeline for large-scale document matching across ~10,800 Reuters news articles. Accepts raw text or file input and returns ranked results with configurable percentile thresholds — no stopword removal, operating on raw token distributions.
Multi-Class Nutritional Grade Prediction via Classical ML
Five-way Nutri-Score classification (A–E) trained on 250,000 Open Food Facts products. Benchmarks Logistic Regression, KNN, SVM, Random Forest, and XGBoost across a full ML pipeline — imputation, outlier removal, PCA, stratified splits. SVM tops validation at 83.5% accuracy.
A Decision Procedure for Equality, Lists, and Arrays
Production-ready satisfiability solver implementing congruence closure for quantifier-free first-order theories T_E, T_cons, and T_A. Follows Bradley & Manna (2007) with largest-ccpar heuristic optimisation and full SMT-LIB 2.0 support. 571 JUnit tests, all passing.
Demand Response Optimisation via Deep Reinforcement Learning
RL agents trained in the CityLearn environment for smart building energy management and real-time grid demand response. Explores actor-critic and Q-learning policies for multi-zone HVAC scheduling under dynamic electricity pricing.
Computational Methods in Genomic Sequence Analysis
Collection of bioinformatics algorithms covering pairwise sequence alignment, phylogenetic tree construction, and genomic data processing pipelines. Developed as coursework for the BSc Bioinformatics programme at the University of Verona.
