What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining aviation quality, training leadership and AI/LLM work—positions that allow me to improve processes, mentor teams, and develop high-quality automated and human-in-the-loop systems.

I am an Italian aviation engineer and IT specialist with deep experience in quality management, training and assessment for aviation maintenance organizations and search/AI evaluation projects. I hold an Aerospace Engineering degree (110/110) and advanced certifications across EASA Part 145/147/21J and multiple international civil aviation authorities.

My recent work centers on Large Language Model response improvement, prompting, generative AI instruction and assessment for Italian-language outputs, while concurrently managing process control and training teams in aviation maintenance. I have extensive hands-on experience as a quality manager, auditor and instructor, leading on-the-job training for Airbus, Boeing, Embraer and ATR aircraft types.

I combine technical IT skills (networking, databases, Windows/Unix, MS Access) with practical aviation regulatory knowledge and human-factors instructional experience to deliver measurable improvements in safety, quality and AI-generated content. I seek roles where I can apply both aviation quality leadership and LLM/AI expertise to improve systems, training and automated outputs.
