About me

Welcome! During the course of my career, I have worked in several roles, always in the tech sector. During these years, I have had the luck and privilege to work side by side with great minds and leaders that have shaped me not only as a professional, but also as a person.

I am currently a Senior Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Vienna, Austria, where I have been since 2020. I design and implement cloud-based solutions for customers across different segments and industries, with a focus on Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) and DevOps. I have led numerous projects involving the deployment of machine learning models in production, and I am a regular contributor to the AWS Machine Learning Blog. I have also been a public speaker at AWS Summit and AWS Cloud Day events.

Lately, my interests have gravitated towards Artificial Intelligence and, in particular, Agentic AI — the emerging paradigm where AI systems can autonomously reason, plan, and take actions to accomplish complex goals. I am fascinated by how foundation models, combined with tool use and orchestration frameworks, are reshaping the way we build intelligent applications. I believe this shift will fundamentally change how we approach software engineering and cloud architecture in the years to come.

Before joining AWS, I spent four years in the cybersecurity industry in Vienna, where I progressed from Software Developer to Development Team Leader to Software Engineer & Architect, working on cloud-based IT security monitoring products. Earlier in my career, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher and Data Analyst at Trinity College Dublin, where I also earned my Ph.D. in Telecommunication Engineering. I hold a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Bologna.

My academic work has been published in IEEE Transactions on Computers, IEEE Transactions on Big Data, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, and IEEE Transactions on Cognitive Communications and Networking, among other outlets.
