An Italian living in Sweden. I have found my passion in marketing and communication as the perfect path to unify goals and strategies. Lately, I've been focusing on promoting IoT solutions for schools and hospitals, making them aware of the advantages of IP-based device and how they can enhance quality care and student learning experience, beyond general security.

Since 2004, I have been involved in several professional projects, including live performances and studio productions, as an audio developer and a key member of the production team, under the brand of "Stationary Traveller Studio". Later in 2015, my journey led me to Germany, where I later graduated as Tonmeister, and continued my path with the roles such as freelance sound engineer, creative technologist, and R&D specialist in various projects. Starting from 2017, I joined Sulfation as a branch to develop multiple projects (Audio-Visual) in immersive media, 360 experiences, interactive installations, and live setups, with my concentration on producing and engineering spatial audio and developing creative methods for mixing and mastering in immersive environments. With the introduction of the artificial intelligence as tool to speedup the workflow and tackle bottlenecks, I delved into the world of AI Gateway, and so far, I have been able to harvest its various applications in multiple projects and in a diverse range. Since 2022, I am working as a member of the audio team of Staatstheater Darmstadt, where I get the chance to work on diverse, innovative, and successful live performances on the daily basis, and immerse myself deeper into working with the most reliable and expansive technologies, while being a member of very proactive and professional team.
