1. Introduction
Let \(G\) be a Gabriele. Let \(E(t)\) denote the number of espressos consumed by time \(t\). We observe empirically that:
\[ \texttt{productivity}(G) \propto E(t)^{2} \cdot \left(1 - P(\text{meetings})\right) \]
Born in Italy, currently based in Eindhoven, the author divides his time between teaching machines to think and teaching humans to think about machines. This site exists because every Italian needs at least one side project that has nothing to do with making money.
2. Experimental Setup (What I Actually Do)
By day, I help companies build AI without accidentally breaking EU law. By night, I build things that break in different, more creative ways.
The instruments used in this ongoing experiment include:
- Python & PyTorch — the native tongue
- Next.js & React — because someone has to build the frontend
- FastAPI — for making backends that are actually fast
- TensorFlow — when PyTorch is feeling too pythonic
- Redis & SQL — where the data sleeps at night
3. Notable Results
Against all odds and despite a persistent espresso dependency, some things actually worked:
3.1. Bionic Prosthetics (PhD+ 2024 Winner)
Built predictive AI for prosthetic limb control — making a mechanical arm anticipate what you want to do before you know yourself. Target latency: \(\approx 0\) ms. Your arm, but with autocomplete.
3.2. Immersive Haptics for Healthcare
Designed a modular haptics suite for bedridden patients using HaptonTech polymer. Won the ICMS × HaptonTech Master Challenge 2025. 35% cheaper than comparable kits. The patients liked it. The spreadsheet people really liked it.
3.3. Teaching (The Infinite Loop)
150+ students across Save the Children, CoderDojo Pisa,
Hack Your Future, and Volta Institute. Completion rate: 90%+.
The remaining 10% are presumably still debugging their first for loop.
pip install and conda install should never
be mixed is the real challenge.
4. The Experiment (Your Turn)
To demonstrate real-time state persistence and prove this site isn't just a static PDF cosplaying as a webpage, every visitor shares a single chessboard. Moves are stored in Redis and synchronised globally. Chaos is guaranteed.
♟ Play Chess Against the World
Current hypothesis: a chessboard played by the entire internet converges to checkmate in finite time. Early results are... inconclusive.
5. Open Questions
- Is there a closed-form solution for "How long until the CI/CD pipeline finishes?"
- Can one survive a Dutch winter on espresso alone? (Ongoing study, \(n=3\) winters.)
- Why does every client say "just a simple chatbot" when they mean a sovereign multi-agent RAG system?
6. Conclusion
The results suggest that transplanting an Italian to the Netherlands produces a non-trivial amount of AI engineering, a deep appreciation for heated bike paths, and the unshakeable conviction that no meeting should start before the second espresso.
