AI Architecture
Expertise in agentic and multi-agent LLM architecture, RAG architecture, model selection and inference-cost management, evaluation and guardrails, human-in-the-loop workflows, MLOps and LLMOps on Kubernetes, self-hosted inference with Ollama and vLLM, open-weights model deployment, speech-to-text with Whisper, and commercial model APIs such as Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini.
Platform & Cloud Engineering
Proficiency in Kubernetes (vanilla, OpenShift, K3s), multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure) and on-premises deployments, containers (Docker, Podman), CI/CD pipelines (GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins), and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible).
Security & PKI
Deep knowledge of PKI (EJBCA and commercial products), identity and Zero Trust architectures, SAST and DAST tooling (Veracode, OWASP), secure boot and signing, as well as AI supply-chain security, SBOM, model and data provenance, and compliance with the EU AI Act and Cyber Resilience Act.
IoT & Edge AI
Hands-on experience with Embedded Linux and RTOS (Yocto, Buildroot, Zephyr), ARM and NVIDIA Jetson edge inference, eBPF profiling and latency tuning, industrial protocols (Modbus, CAN), and computer vision (OpenCV, YOLO, TensorFlow).
Programming Languages
Practical experience with Go, JavaScript and TypeScript (Node.js, React), and Python for backend services, microservices, and AI tooling.
AI Governance & Compliance
Knowledge of AI supply-chain security and SBOM practices, model and data provenance tracking, and regulatory frameworks including the EU AI Act and Cyber Resilience Act.
Agentic AI Systems
Design and delivery of agentic AI systems including multi-agent orchestrators, tool-calling LLMs, MCP servers, and multi-channel agentic AI assistants integrated with messaging platforms and business workflows.
Computer Vision & ML Pipelines
Building computer-vision and ML-assisted data pipelines using TensorFlow and OpenCV, with edge inference on ARM and NVIDIA Jetson hardware, and intelligent video-surveillance systems running YOLO11 and InsightFace.
Post-Quantum Networking
Creation of a post-quantum networking stack shipped as a single Go binary with self-certifying node identity (ML-DSA-65) and no central CA, supporting autonomous fleets and cloud-native applications with EU CRA, NIS2 and DORA compliance.

Project history
Independent consultancy for enterprises and startups. Delivered domain-specialised tool-calling LLMs, mission-critical PKI platforms for national energy operators, full-stack clinical diagnostics device-to-cloud solutions, e-learning platforms for Italian hospitals, and created products including EmbedForge (reproducible embedded Linux and RTOS firmware platform with AI stack) and OnyxMesh (post-quantum networking stack). Also created a multi-channel agentic AI assistant based on OpenClaw for corporate workflow automation.
Industrial IoT startup based in London. Co-founded the company and architected the BX Platform, a cloud-native industrial-IoT platform with real-time analytics, immersive web (AR/VR) and conversational/chatbot interfaces for manufacturing, energy and advanced robotics. Built computer-vision and ML-assisted data pipelines with edge inference on ARM and NVIDIA Jetson Nano.
Designed an R&D monitoring software platform for industrial refrigeration using Linux KVM, MQTT, ActiveMQ, Python, MongoDB and GCP.
