About
I build and ship applied AI at Google as a Staff Forward Deployed Engineer, working side by side with the people who use it.
Before that, I spent six years as an Engineering Manager in Gen AI safety. I grew a team of 4 engineers into a globally distributed organization of 17 engineers and managers, building AI/ML platforms, classifiers and safety tooling that protect users across Google's products.
Earlier, I built network automation at AWS and cloud infrastructure at Microsoft, and co-founded a startup in Italy. I hold a PhD in Engineering and I'm completing an Executive MBA at Trinity Business School.
