I like my beer the way I like my clothes.Black.

I’ve been messing around with design since I was a kid, until somewhere along the way it actually became my job.

These days, in my main job at Thetis IT, I design the web interfaces for the control rooms we build.

Over the years I slowly drifted from design into code, from commercial websites to web apps. Today I work almost entirely with AI.

My side quests these days are native mobile apps, built without writing a single line of code, but with real care for the product and the branding. Some are already on the stores with a few thousand active users; others are still in the forge.

DoVe
Everyday Venice in one app: boats and buses in real time, journey planner, any address, the tide and its forecast, pharmacies on duty, health services, cinemas and places to see.
Movete
Getting around Rome on public transport: live vehicles on the map, journey planner and service alerts.
AppalRider
The AppalCART buses of Boone, North Carolina, live on the map, with journey planner and service alerts.
Venice Airport Waterbus
The boat between Venice airport and the city: timetables and journey planner.
Cistercian Glyphs
Any number written as a medieval Cistercian glyph, in several styles, saved as an image.

I’ve always loved making soundtracks. For myself, for personal projects, sometimes for work too.

You can find some of my tracks on Spotify.

This site

Like the apps, I designed and directed this site, and the code is written by AI. It runs on Nuxt, Three.js and Rapier. The 3D models are made with Blender and Claude Design, and the music is mine.
