AI & Web3 for business processes

From supply chain to code. I tracked farm lots from the field all the way to the lab; now I build software that verifies its own numbers.

  4. Software

Profile

I hold a degree in Business Start-⁠ups and Business Models, with a technical background in computer science and a specialization in blockchain and AI.

I come from industrial and agri-food operations. At Mutti SpA I coordinated more than 100 farms and managed high-traceability supply chains.

Traceability is the thread that runs through my career: lots followed from the field to the lab, then blockchain, and now software products that verify their own numbers.

Goal

Applying AI and Web3 to business processes.

By the numbers

  • 100+ farms coordinated
  • 4 years on the Residuo Zero project
  • 3 software products in development
  • 700+ automated tests written across my projects

Classified dossiers

Three products in development. Here you'll find the evidence, not the secrets; the rest I'll show you in a private demo.

  1. DOSSIER-01

    Codename

    XRAY

    CLASSIFIED

    Status
    In active development
    Category
    Document AI · consumer and B2B

    Explains in plain language the complex financial documents people often receive and struggle to read. And checks that the numbers add up.

    Evidence

    • Native Android app: 10 releases in two weeks, 255 automated tests.
    • Multi-model AI reading, with automatic failover from one provider to another.
    • The math is verified deterministically, not left to the model.
    • Privacy by design: storage stays on the device, keys are encrypted.
    • A version for organizations is in development: a multi-tenant platform with data isolated at the database level, security designed to OWASP ASVS Level 2, 142 automated tests (including end-to-end) and accessibility verified with axe.

  2. DOSSIER-02

    Codename

    REVENANT

    CLASSIFIED

    Status
    Working prototype
    Category
    Data recovery

    Brings back documents, images and videos that no longer open, and always says honestly what it managed to recover.

    Evidence

    • 96% recovery across 77 realistic damage cases in 7 formats, measured by actually reopening every file.
    • 77 out of 77 outcomes consistent: never a “repaired” label that hides a loss.
    • Bit-perfect video recovery, verified frame by frame.
    • 177 automated tests, including an adversarial suite completed with zero crashes.
    • Full web demo.

    Codename

    SPECTRA

    CLASSIFIED

    Status
    Demo-ready prototype
    Category
    AI FinOps

    Turns generative AI spend into business numbers: clear costs, margins under control.

    Evidence

    • Figures reconciled with the providers' official sources, with no cost counted twice.
    • More than 130 automated tests, including hand-calculated cases.
    • Runs entirely locally: the data never leaves the computer.
    • Works in the browser or as a Windows desktop app.
