About Me 🔗

During my PhD I researched language design and implementation at University of Milan. After three years at UniCredit Bank’s R&D department, I have joined Red Hat in the KIE group, where I worked on the Drools rules engine and the Kogito project. I moved to Tetrate, as a core maintainer of wazero, the pure-Go Wasm Runtime; at Dylibso I still contributed to wazero, while also working on Chicory, a pure-Java Wasm Runtime, and Extism, the polyglot Wasm-based plug-in system.

I have now returned to Red Hat as a member of the AI Engineering team!
