I create AI products and oversee engineering teams at startups that cannot afford technological missteps. As the first engineer at Chatterbox, I developed the complete platform from scratch, guided the technology during a £1.5M seed funding round, and continued through a transition from B2C to B2B, securing clients like BNP Paribas, Microsoft, and McKinsey. Currently, I operate Digital Kitchen, an AI product studio, where we have launched over 10 products in the past year, including WhatsApp bots for coaches, AI website analysis tools, marketing systems, and personalized song generators. These are tangible products delivering value to real users. Additionally, I take on fractional CTO roles, having rebuilt an outsourced SaaS platform for a German design firm and improved a mobile app at NTT DATA, raising its App Store rating from 3.0 to 4.5. I also led the complete technical development of an AI health app for both iOS and Android as a fractional CTO. Based in NYC, I hold an MSc in Computer Science from Politecnico di Milano and have over 11 years of industry experience. My expertise includes AI product development, technical leadership for early-stage startups, architecture assessments, MVP development, and assisting non-technical founders in determining what to create and how to execute it.
