What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build digital research infrastructures and archives that connect humanistic inquiry with technological innovation, cultural heritage, ecology, and urban life.

I design and supervise digital infrastructure for the ERC Phil-Tragen project, building web platforms, relational databases, metadata architectures, API integrations, and multilingual research environments.

At Arxiu Gianni Vattimo at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, I develop and curate a digital archive for philosophical heritage through catalogue development, document structuring, digitisation workflows, network visualisation, and web-based research interfaces.

My work brings Digital Humanities and Environmental Philosophy together to examine how data, networks, and technologies shape cultural practices, urban memory, sustainability policies, and collective life.

I'm also pursuing doctoral research on dwelling in technological environments, exploring human experience, habitability, digitalisation, and artificial intelligence through phenomenology, hermeneutics, environmental philosophy, and digital philosophy.
