Rome, Italy

I have always been driven by an entrepreneurial spirit. At the age of 21, I started my own small studio in the heart of Rome. This venture marked the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey, which saw me expand my business footprint to Italy, Romania, and the UK over the next nine years. Each step was a testament to my dedication and vision.

Four years ago, my path intersected with the web3 space, and it was love at first sight. I embraced its values and potential wholeheartedly. Along with my team, I have launched three successful projects in this domain, each reflecting our passion and innovation in the evolving world of web3.

Hackathons have been a part of my life since I was 18. Not only have I participated in many across Italy and Europe, but I've also won a significant number of them. These experiences weren't just about competing; they were about learning and sharing knowledge. I've also taken roles as a mentor and judge in some of these hackathons, guiding and inspiring young talents in the tech community.

My skills range from culinary arts to tech expertise. I pride myself on making an amazing carbonara, a nod to my Roman roots, as well as fine-tuning AI models. This unique combination of skills showcases my versatility and adaptability in both traditional and modern fields.

This journey has been more than just building businesses; it's been about embracing new technologies, fostering communities, and constantly challenging myself to grow and innovate.
