Bridging Economics, Supply Chain experience, and Artificial Intelligence — building practical, value-driven ML solutions.

About Me

Background

ML Engineer with a background in Economics and supply chain operations. Currently pursuing a Master's in AI Engineering at INFNET, focused on building production-ready ML systems.

I studied Economics and Business at the Università di Torino and did an Erasmus exchange at EAE Business School in Barcelona. After graduating, I worked in Italy at a multinational spirits company — first as a supply chain logistics intern, then as an Order Fulfillment Planner, coordinating with planning, logistics, and warehouse teams using SAP.

That work gave me a concrete picture of how operational data flows — and where it doesn't. I transitioned to AI to apply that context to building ML systems: pipelines designed for real data quality issues, models built for production rather than benchmarks, and tools that fit into how teams actually operate.

Perspective

Working inside a supply chain operation showed me where data breaks down in practice — inconsistent inputs, timing gaps, processes that don't match the system design. That experience shapes how I approach ML: I focus on what makes a system work in production, not just in a notebook.
