AI/ML Engineer specializing in GenAI, Edge AI & MLOps. Co-Founder of Marea Software, a boutique engineering studio. Currently architecting PNRR-funded safety systems and AI solutions for Leonardo S.p.A. integrations.
KladML | MLOps & Workflow Orchestration Framework
A modular CLI-first framework to automate the full ML lifecycle.
- Universal Training: native Multi-GPU/DDP support via HF Accelerate.
- Config-as-Code: Hierarchical hyperparameter management with Pydantic.
- Reliability: Built with strict Test-Driven Development (TDD).
- TUI Monitoring: Real-time terminal dashboard for training metrics and hardware health.
SENTINELLA (PNRR Project)
Lead Architect for a multi-modal safety system preventing driver emergencies:
- GluFormer: Probabilistic time-series forecasting for metabolic monitoring.
- Edge Gateway: Dual-mode inference (TorchScript/LoRA) with "Midnight Fine-tuning" on Apple Silicon/Edge devices.
- AMR Mission Scheduler: Redesigned robot coordination using Layered Architecture and Repository Patterns for 24/7 fleet stability.
- Production Analytics: Developed publication-quality KPI dashboards using plotnine (ggplot) and Streamlit.
π Marea Software | Engineering Boutique
As Co-Founder and Lead Engineer, I design and deploy mission-critical software for institutional and high-stakes sectors.
