Civil and Geotechnical Engineer | Data Scientist

Airborne Ventures

Analysis on fund performances across various vintages
Pitch deck preparation for LP fundraising

Venture Scholar

A square trying to fit a round hole is how I would best describe my experience in ETS.

I any case I didn't completely waste my time:

 - I improved a lot using the Python API for Plaxis
 - I finally mastered structural design that was lagging behind
 - Drafting structural drawings was also a cool experience
 - I had the time to work on some interesting articles mixing civil engineering and Pyhton
 - ultimately I felt so bad with myself being an employee that I decided to launch my consulting business

Senior Geotechnical Engineer

STUDIO GEOTECNICO ITALIANO - SOCIETA  A RESPONSABILITA  LIMITATA

Project Manager

At Studio Geotecnico Italiano I had the chance to get involved in the design and the construction of a variety of different things:

 - Geotechnical design for onshore industry
 - Infrastructural projects (highways, bridge)
- Offshore and marine works (foundations, quays and causeways)
- Landfill and waste storage depots
-  Skyscrapers

Some interesting things I did:

- getting involved in the construction of a bridge in Denmark and acting as liaison manager
- I learned coding Python by myself and organised a short course for collegues

Geotechnical Engineer

3SR Grenoble

This is the continuation of my Master in Geomechanics.
After the courses, I landed a research work project in 3SR Laboratoire at the university. 
I worked both in the lab doing some experiments running the campaign and validating a numerical model in the office. The project aimed to validate some of the use of a particular foundation type for tidal turbines.

In one of my Medium articles, I wrote about this experience and how it contributed to shaping my interest in Python programming.

The title of my thesis was so long that I forgot it.

Stagiaire

Golder Associates

For six months I worked as an intern 1 day per week.
I was assigned to support the definition of a conceptual site model for a polluted site, a gas station spilling tank.
From this experience, I learnt how to use QGIS and in general the importance of geospatial application, I passion I will bring with me in the years coming.

Intern

CUS Torino

From the last year of high to the last year of university before moving to Grenoble I trained a group of kids ranging from 13 to 16 years old two times per week. I had fun and learned how to keep people interested and engaged.

Climbing Instructor

Being an engineer with a technical background, my mission is to make venture capital from technologist to technologist. Having in-depth knowledge to understand the technology involved in a company is one of the most significant gaps often separating founders from investors. 

My journey is about reducing this gap. 

I work as a fractional leader for startups and gaining my way in Venture Capital with Venture Institute by VC Lab. 

My expertise spans in:

 🌍  Geospatial analytics
 🌱  Climate science
 🚲  Mobility
 🌉  Civil Engineering, Infrastructures and Construction


Beyond my professional journey, the great outdoors calls to me. I'm there, whether it's mountain biking trails, catching waves while surfing, scaling peaks in climbing, or exploring snowy terrains through ski mountaineering. For this reason, I am in business to preserve our playground and I work with companies with a positive outcome on the planet.
