## Co-Founder @ Venere Labs

September 2024 - Present · Italy

I co-founded an independent AI engineering lab, working on inspectable agent systems and reproducible evals.

- 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 run the research line on emotional memory for agents, archived with a DOI and reproducible benchmarks.
