I chose to work independently out of a desire for freedom, competence, and intellectual honesty. Not freedom in the superficial sense of “working on my own,” but the deeper kind — the freedom to think without rigid boundaries, to follow complex questions wherever they lead, and to build work grounded in substance rather than role definitions.

My academic background is in Naval Engineering and Statistical and Actuarial Sciences, where I completed my PhD. From early on, my interests moved across domains: physical systems, probabilistic modelling, uncertainty, human behaviour, and the conceptual foundations of decision-making. No single job description fully matched this transversal profile.

I began my independent professional path through selective expert platforms such as Toptal and Kolabtree, working on high-complexity analytical and modelling projects. These environments valued methodological depth and problem-solving ability over formal roles, and they provided a natural starting ground for a competence-driven practice.

Over time, this evolved into a fully independent activity combining analytical consulting and teaching. My work focuses on modelling, uncertainty, risk, and complex systems, often at the intersection of engineering, statistical–actuarial reasoning, and behavioural analysis. I typically engage where problems resist standard templates and require interdisciplinary structure.

Teaching has always been a parallel and essential dimension of my work. I teach and supervise students across disciplines, and I deliver AI and advanced analytics training for companies, with a focus on methodological clarity rather than tool-centric hype. Teaching, for me, is not an accessory — it is a discipline that preserves clarity of thought and keeps competence alive through explanation.

Alongside consulting and teaching, I am co-founder of an innovative initiative in the field of AI-driven cognitive and behavioural modelling, combining data science, psychometric approaches, and machine learning methods. The project reflects the same principle that guides my broader work: integrating quantitative rigour with an understanding of human behaviour and decision processes. I prefer to keep this activity described in conceptual rather than promotional terms.

In parallel, I write essays on technology, the meaning of work, competence, and authenticity in technical professions. These reflections are not separate from my scientific activity — they are part of the same attempt to understand how technical knowledge and human meaning can remain connected.

My path has not been linear, but it has been coherent. Across research, modelling, consulting, writing, music, and teaching, I have tried to cultivate a single principle:

to work in a way that keeps competence, depth, and humanity aligned.
