Curriculum vitae
Where a role produced something public, the artifact is linked rather than described.
I take LLM systems into production.
I build and ship production AI systems for technical teams, with a focus on inspectability, clear failure handling, and measured change.
Selected public work
Three public projects with code or published artifacts.
emotional-memory
Memory layer for LLM systems with affective state encoding, a PyPI package, Zenodo DOI, and reproducible benchmarks against Mem0, LangMem, and Letta.
agentroom
Agent-to-agent chat with end-to-end encryption over a self-hosted relay, designed so the relay cannot read message contents.
harbor-kernel
Experimental Rust bare-metal kernel for Raspberry Pi 4 with cooperative tasks, EL0 agents, IPC, and W^X MMU
Independent Research & Engineering — Venere Labs
September 2024 – PresentItaly Venere Labs is the name I use for my independent research and engineering work on inspectable agent systems and reproducible evaluation.
- I design agent systems that stay inspectable: typed tool contracts, durable state, and recovery paths that survive a restart.
- I build reproducible evals, so a change to a prompt or a model shows up as a measured difference rather than an impression.
- I research AI memory for agents and publish reproducible benchmarks under the emotional-memory project.
