CTO | Building agentic AI systems | Technical strategy for startups
I'm the CTO and co-founder of Digital Kitchen, where we build AI products from scratch and launch them fast. NudgeCheck, Website Roaster, YourSongBox, VoiceOnX, all built and launched in the last year. Before DK, I was the first engineer at Chatterbox. Joined when it was just an idea, built the entire platform, led the tech through a £1.5M seed round, and stayed through a full B2C-to-B2B pivot. Seven years. BNP Paribas, Microsoft, and McKinsey as clients by the end. I've also done fractional CTO work for companies that needed someone to come in, fix the architecture, and get things moving. Rebuilt an outsourced SaaS platform from the ground up for a German design agency. Worked a mobile app rebuild at NTT DATA that took the App Store rating from 3.0 to 4.5. What I do now: AI-powered products (WhatsApp bots, agentic systems, automation workflows), technical strategy for startups, and helping non-technical founders figure out what to build and how to build it. Based in NYC. MSc in Computer Science from Politecnico di Milano.

The aim of this project was to update the Weather forecast application of Enel, adapting the graphics to the new brand identity and using cutting-edge mobile technologies. The project was particularly challenging due to the time constraints of the project but also a good occasion to apply my knowledge in the Swift programming language.
