My story

Six languages, four cities, and a long detour through Asia.

Born and raised in Turin, Italy. I left at 23 to do a master's in Shanghai, and I never really moved back. Here's the short version.

Italian English French Portuguese Spanish Mandarin

Six languages, give or take a Mandarin tone.

Where it started

Born and raised in Turin. A lot of languages around the table and a constant itch to see what was out there. So at 23 I packed a bag and left.

China, the deep end

I moved to Shanghai for a master's in management and fell completely for the place. The culture, the food, and above all the hustle. These were my formative years, and China's relentless pace shaped how I think and work to this day. I joined a crypto startup called Bybit right near the start, back when almost nobody took it seriously, and watched it grow into one of the biggest exchanges in the world. Five years there, plus the friends I made across Asia, changed my life for good.

2020 Singapore

Singapore

When the pandemic hit, I moved to Singapore and stayed two more years. More crypto, more travel, and a front-row seat to one of the fastest-moving industries on earth.

2022 Lisbon, Portugal

Lisbon, home base

In 2022 I landed in Lisbon, where I'm based now. Best call I've made in a while. These days I surf, play a lot of tennis, and spend most of my time building and sharing AI content. I still travel constantly, for work and for the fun of it.
