Profile

Where mathematics
meets design thinking

I work at the intersection of mathematical engineering and data strategy. Currently at Haier Europe, where I build Marketing Mix Models that directly inform pan-European budget allocation.

My background spans a BSc in Mathematical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano and product design studies at IED — a combination that shapes how I think about both systems and aesthetics. I build solutions that are technically rigorous and genuinely useful.

Beyond the Work

Life outside
the code

I share my apartment in Milan with a Maine Coon who has heterochromia — one blue eye, one amber. He is large, opinionated, and entirely indifferent to deadlines.

The design thinking from IED shapes how I approach technical problems, and the precision of mathematical engineering informs how I think about aesthetics. Living between China, Italy, and the world of data keeps that cross-pollination alive.
