I build reliable LLM retrieval systems and predictive models that know when not to answer.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote or Milan-based work building production-ready LLM features and predictive models, especially where reliability, evaluation, transparency, and knowing when not to answer matter.

I designed Uplift's WhatsApp AI assistant architecture for exhibitor, schedule, and sponsor questions, combining hybrid retrieval, confidence gating, cost controls, and two-layer hallucination checks.

At Yesbat, I led modeling for a battery state-of-health predictor across 793 cells and nine public dataset families, achieving 0.025 average SOH error on the certified cohort. I built reliability gates to withhold unsupported predictions and corrected misleading validation reporting through a metric-honesty audit.

My PhD and postdoctoral work at the University of Pavia and University of Milano-Bicocca built reproducible Python, R, and Bash pipelines for genome-scale sequencing data on Linux/Slurm HPC.
