Biology
meets code
intelligence.

I'm a Biomedical AI Specialist based in Genova, Italy, with a PhD in Biomolecular and Health Sciences from the University of Urbino Carlo Bo. My career spans wet-lab experimental research, structural bioinformatics, and — more recently — production AI engineering.

At an AI startup in Pisa, I design and engineer large-scale benchmark pipelines for evaluating AI coding agents. My work includes dataset extraction at scale on AWS EC2/S3, LLM-as-Judge evaluation frameworks with HITL calibration, and deep graph and code-based EDA across tens of thousands of bug instances.

My PhD research at Urbino investigated the role of nutraceutical compounds in NAFLD prevention — combining computational phytochemistry, molecular docking, and cellular biology experiments.

I'm open to European research and industry roles at the intersection of AI, bioinformatics, drug discovery, and precision medicine.
