About

A cross-functional profile built across quality assurance, infrastructure stability, and human-centric technical support.

I've spent over 16 years working where product stability and human needs intersect. From tracking down rare bugs in biometric SDKs to managing global IT infrastructures, I've learned that technology works best when it's quiet and reliable. I know how to listen to users, de-escalate problems, and turn complex requirements into clear, practical experiences. No tricks, no data harvesting—just tools that work.

Experience

16+ years bridging the gap between product stability and human needs.

Selected apps

A collection of mobile products, built with a consistent attitude toward clarity.

Whether it is exploring accessible color recognition (Argyo), emotional grounding (HicNow), or bringing calm to classic Italian card games (Pure Scopa and Pure Briscola), these projects reject aggressive monetization and data harvesting. They all favor practical interfaces, transparent systems, and absolute respect for the user.

Local-first emotional grounding

HicNow

A private emotional capsule app designed to help you stop, name the moment, and keep it close.

Built with Flutter, HicNow maps your current emotional state on a continuous Russell-style model, turning it into a private capsule (text, audio, photo, or video). It is designed for emotional grounding, offering a calm capture process and strictly local storage. A low-friction ritual to help a moment stay readable over time.

Grounding map — A continuous mood selection flow designed to reduce friction and invite calm reflection.
Private media capsules — Each moment can be stored with text, audio, photo, or video and kept entirely on-device.
Local-first archive — Capsules, preferences, reminders, and media are designed to remain on the device by default, without requiring an account or a cloud backend.

Current status Available on iOS. Coming soon on Android.

Accessible color analysis

Argyo

A hundred eyes on color, built to help users identify and describe colors with confidence.

Argyo is a Flutter product focused on accessible color recognition from gallery images and live camera input. As a colorblind developer, I built the tool I couldn't find: one that combines clear labels, HEX values, and contrast-aware UI choices without relying on color alone. No ads, no tracking.

Gallery and camera flows — The MVP covers both static image analysis and live camera sampling with accessible overlays.
Evocative naming — Argyo prefers memorable color names before technical labels to make daily communication easier.
Accessibility-first rules — Every state combines color, icon, and label so the interface remains understandable for every user.

Current status Available on iOS. Coming soon on Android.

Classic Italian Scopa, no noise

Pure Scopa

A calm, local-first take on classic Scopa and 4-player team Scopa, built for quick, honest play.

Pure Scopa is a Flutter card game focused on the classic Italian Scopa, including the 4-player team variant. No account, no ads, no token economy, no energy system: just clean tables, readable cards, and offline AI opponents. Matches, settings, and basic statistics stay on the device. Optional Tip Jar purchases are handled by the platform stores.

Classic Scopa and 4-player team Scopa — Two classic modes with traditional scoring: cards, denari, settebello, primiera, and scope.
Honest offline AI — Three difficulty levels — easy, normal, expert — that change how the AI plays, never the cards it receives.
Local-first by design — Save/resume, settings, and statistics live on the device. No account, no cloud backend, no telemetry.

Current status Available on iOS. Coming soon on Android.

Classic Italian Briscola, no noise

Pure Briscola

A calm, local-first take on classic Briscola, built for honest play and careful AI opponents.

Pure Briscola is a Flutter card game focused on classic Italian Briscola with multiple AI difficulty levels. No account, no ads, no token economy, no energy system: just clean tables, readable cards, and offline AI opponents. Matches, settings, and basic statistics stay on the device. Optional Tip Jar purchases are handled by the platform stores.

Classic Italian Briscola — Authentic two-player Briscola with traditional scoring and trump mechanics.
Intelligent offline AI — Five difficulty levels — from beginner to expert — each with distinct strategies that improve play without cheating.
Local-first by design — Save/resume, settings, and statistics live on the device. No account, no cloud backend, no telemetry.

Current status Available on iOS. Coming soon on Android.

Labs & Open Source

Experimental and open-source projects.

Beyond finished products, I love exploring unusual architectures and experimental paradigms. These are open-source laboratories where I test ideas and push technical limits.

Open Source / Experimental AI

Subvocal

An experimental, tensor-native local AI agent.

An experimental architectural exploration in Node.js that bypasses standard HTTP/JSON layers to talk directly to the llama.cpp backend. It explores dual-brain shared memory architectures and direct KV cache manipulation. Not a production tool, but a real laboratory to push the limits of local LLM interactions.
