I specialise in building scalable, high-impact solutions that bridge product, engineering, and business strategy. Whether it’s automation, computational tools, or software development, I help teams move faster, reduce inefficiencies, and make smarter decisions. With nearly 20 years of experience across design, manufacturing, and construction, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how technology transforms workflows—and how to turn that insight into measurable outcomes.

I’m a technical digital product manager with a background as a digital automation and fabrication specialist and developer—an architect by training but a technologist by heart. I didn’t truly know who I was until I discovered computational design. Since then, I’ve been focused on developing better processes, connecting data with design, and building systems that improve how we design and deliver.

After my Architectural studies, I’ve been part of the team at Mario Cucinella Architects (MCA), a team put together to deliver five projects dedicated to the post-earthquake reconstruction of the Italian region of Emilia Romagna, where my hometown is.
During my time at MCA, I’ve been involved in many projects, either independently or in a team; examples include the Unipol headquarters and Deloitte’s new greenhouse in Milano.
I closely collaborated for a few years with NYXO Studio, formerly known as Disguincio, where I had the opportunity to grow and further develop my research method by actively participating in many competitions and collaborating in relevant projects for clients.

Being a versatile and forward-looking thinker, in 2015, I literally moved forward in the global time zone by coming to Australia to discover the next part of my career.
In Sydney, I joined AR-MA as a computational designer and digital fabrication consultant, and I am deeply fascinated by their motto, ‘We code. We model. We design. We solve.’
At AR-MA, my analytical attitude was able to align with the ambitious vision of incorporating automation into design for manufacturing and construction.
I was responsible for developing pipelines to optimise and simplify fabrication processes to allow clients to minimise risk and errors.

From 2021 to 2024 at Mott MacDonald Australia, I applied my technical skills and strategic vision to integrate new technologies such as AI, web app development, process automation, and custom solutions. I bridged the gap between automation and practice, led and mentored diverse teams, collaborated with different departments and digital communities, balanced strategic planning and operational duties, and engaged in continuous learning and professional development.

Since 2024, I’ve been a digital product manager at AECOM Australia, leading the development and integration of our internal technology stack and frameworks in support of the global Computational Design team. My role combines technical product strategy and hands-on development, focusing on delivering automation and software tools that scale, integrate, and generate real business impact.

I work closely with engineers, developers, and business leaders—translating complex needs into usable, scalable solutions. I drive value by:

  • Creating early-stage prototypes to validate ideas with users

  • Building adaptable, production-ready tools

  • Applying agile and lean principles to optimise workflows and reduce waste

  • Ensuring business alignment through continuous collaboration and communication

For me, success isn’t measured by how many tools we build but by how well they’re adopted, embedded, and scaled across the organisation.

I strongly believe that the right workflow can minimise risk, optimise delivery, and spark real innovation in the construction industry. Whether developing new parametric modelling methods, embedding automation into everyday processes, or building custom software from scratch—I stay hands-on, driven, and always looking forward.
