PhD researcher turned AI engineer.
Specializing in computer vision, deep learning pipelines, and translating research into production systems.

I'm Andrea, a freelance AI engineer and researcher.
As a freelance AI engineer with a strong foundation in academic research, I help companies in bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI research (yes, also those fancy agentic pipelines) and real-world, reliability-first, applications.
I obtained a Ph.D. at the University of Verona (IT), as a member of IntelligoLabs, under the supervision of prof. Marco Cristani. I also spent a semester at University of Glasgow (UK) as part of the Social AI CDT in collaboration with prof. Alessandro Vinciarelli. My research interests focused primarily on pose estimation, social signal processing and multi-task learning. I investigated, for instance, automatic systems that can understand how people move in the space and how they interact with each other.
I love reading books & comics, watching movies, and playing videogames.
