I build things that solve real problems. Usually this means software, sometimes it means companies. Here's what I've been up to:
- 2014: Moved from Italy to study computer science at UC Santa Cruz
- 2020: Started Vanly, a marketplace for van life gear. Built it while living in a van at Lake Tahoe
- 2022: Moved to New York
- 2024: Launched Leaseswap NYC, helping people transfer apartment leases
- 2025: Sold Vanly and started Masterkey, an AI platform for real estate analysis
- Now: Working on Pluggo, an AI agent that monitors social media for business insights
When I'm not coding:
- Reading books (you can see what I'm reading on my bookshelf)
- Writing about what I'm building in my weekly newsletter
