Complete Operational Partnering case study across three integrated pillars: Technology, Design and Method. Phase 1 — Strategic analysis: mapping business processes and identifying operational bottlenecks before writing a single line of code. Phase 2 — Engine build: MCP (Model Context Protocol) architecture with tools, resources and prompts as APIs for AI agents, natively integrated with VS Code Copilot and Cursor. Phase 3 — Design for non-technical users: simplified UX for internal operators, designed to reduce onboarding time and operational error. Phase 4 — Agile delivery: Cursor → GitLab CI/CD → automated deploy pipeline, 1–2 week sprints with a measured impactScore at every release, team autonomous at end of engagement.

• Analyse business processes as the starting point — zero code written before understanding the real problem
• Design an MCP architecture with tools, resources and prompts as APIs for AI agents — native integration with VS Code Copilot and Cursor
• Design simplified UX for non-technical operators: 40% reduction in onboarding time for new workflows

Design and development of an interactive CV as a systematic proving ground for an end-to-end AI-augmented workflow. The entire cycle — architecture, UI, GSAP animations, MCP server, HTTP API with Hono — was built with GitHub Copilot and Claude as operational co-pilots, applying structured Prompt Engineering at every phase: specification, review, debugging, refactoring. The result is a two-layer system: an Astro + Lit site for the visual CV, and an MCP server that exposes CV data as an API for AI agents. The project is also a live demonstration that a solo developer, with AI as a force multiplier, can produce in weeks what a team would need months to deliver.

• Design an MCP architecture with tools, resources and prompt templates that expose CV data as an API for AI agents (VS Code Copilot, Claude Desktop)
• Build an Astro + Lit site with advanced GSAP animations: narrative preloader, SVG sine wave hold effect, distortion filter via feTurbulence
• Build a complete AI-augmented workflow with GitHub Copilot and Claude — zero boilerplate written by hand

Enterprise systems in banking and technology operate at scale and demand interfaces that are both architecturally solid and usable by millions of people. I designed design systems, WebComponent libraries and microfrontend architectures for Intesa San Paolo and Aruba — every solution built to withstand time, stack changes and unexpected growth.

• Lead as Tech Lead and Scrum Master the Aruba Design System team (3+ years, 30+ people): sprint coordination, systematic code reviews and technical roadmap of a library with over 100 WebComponents adopted cross-product
• Contribute to Intesa San Paolo digital products in a 50+ person team: enterprise-scale Angular architecture, shared standards and code review processes
• Deliver an enterprise application with microfrontend and microservices architecture, with advanced state management via NGRX

External collaboration with an Italian music agency in a dual capacity: booking and tour management for the roster artists, combined with a strategic contribution to digital communications. I brought my competencies in UX, content strategy and AI tools to optimise existing workflows — without disrupting the agency's operations, but making them more efficient.

• Grow follower count by 100% with a highly targeted audience (musicians, record labels, agents, promoters) — organic and qualitative, not pure volume
• Organise a live event at Arci Bellezza in Milan: venue coordination, artist logistics and event communications from start to finish
• Develop a digital growth plan with a dedicated Spotify playlist proposal to increase organic engagement for roster artists

Support role in video production for high-end international weddings in Tuscany. Assisted the lead videographer in a sector demanding extreme attention to detail and international aesthetic sensibility.

• Support video shoots for ceremonies with hundreds of international guests
• Collaborate in multicultural and multi-day event contexts
• Operate in high-complexity logistical and cultural contexts, adapting to on-set needs in real time

Continuous freelance photography practice alongside professional roles, with projects in Italy, Tanzania and beyond.

Presenter and moderator for events, cultural festivals and live shows across Italy. Theatre improvisation skills applied to manage the stage, the audience and unexpected situations with composure and authority.

• Host multidisciplinary cultural festivals (music, art, theatre)
• Moderate panels and talks with international guests
• Manage real-time crises on stage using applied improvisation training

Sales and customer consultancy at Mondadori Store, Area 12, Turin. Management of the books section and customer support.

Managing an entertainment team at highly seasonal beach resorts means leading in the unpredictable, every single day. I coordinated entertainment programmes and staff management at facilities in Ravenna and Crotone — and discovered that leadership is built through improvisation, not control: a conviction that now shapes my approach to any team effort.

• Coordinate entertainment teams in high-variability, high-pressure seasonal contexts
• Design and deliver entertainment programmes for international guests

Theatre improvisation can only be taught by someone who already knows how to inhabit uncertainty. I led courses for None Teatro students, transmitting the 'Yes, and...' method as a practice of active listening and collective building — and each session sharpened my ability to read people's needs quickly and adapt my communication register in real time.

• Deliver improvisation and theatre courses for students at different levels
• Apply the 'Yes, and...' method as a pedagogical tool to develop creativity and problem solving

Technical management of audio and lighting for theatrical productions. Participation as actor and improviser in shows in Italy and Luxembourg.

• Perform in theatre improvisation shows in Italy and Luxembourg
