I'm an anthropologist-technologist who maps the territory between people and systems. With a greater affinity for people than for machines, my work focuses on making technology serve humanity better—not the other way around.

Currently working in IT and Security at Anthropic, I bring human-centered approaches to AI safety infrastructure. My career through publishing, enterprise technology at Apple, Pivotal Labs, and GitHub has consistently demonstrated that anthropological perspectives have an essential place in technology development.

• Human-centered technology: Building systems that enhance rather than replace human connection
• AI safety: Working at the intersection of infrastructure and responsible AI development
• Community building: Serving as Treasurer of the Mac Admins Foundation
• Cultural preservation: Exploring how technology can strengthen rather than erode human diversity

Originally from Italy, now calling the UK home with my family (we share a fondness for all things orange). When I'm not working on endpoint management or pondering the cultural implications of artificial intelligence, you'll find me writing at Deadline about the intersections of anthropology, AI, and technology.

Through code, writing, and community work, I explore how we might preserve the full richness of human culture while building the technological future. Because in the end, our most sophisticated systems should be those that enhance human wisdom, not replace it.
