I’m a Developer Evangelist in Oracle’s Database Organization, focused on building Generative AI platforms that harness DBMS AI capabilities, while also championing their adoption as an evangelist. Reporting to the Oracle Corporation in US, I cover EMEA customers, system integrators, and ISVs.
I work on the Kubernetes-based deployment platform for AI microservices, Oracle Backend for Microservices and AI, and I’m leading the development of the AI Optimizer and Toolkit — a low-code platform that empowers developers to design and fine-tune AI Agents using Oracle’s Vector Store.
As former Cloud Architect and Data Analytics & AI/ML domain specialist, I've driven Cloud business opportunities in the Oracle Technology Cloud Engineering Team. With more than 25 years of experience in IT, I have worked in several roles like System Engineer in TIM, as Developer in companies like Olivetti Research, SIA, Unisys and Sun Microsystems, and as Sales Consultant in Sun Microsystems and Oracle.I've a degree in Computer Science and a Master in Information Technology.
Known for excellent client-facing skills, I have been involved in PoC, proposals and presentations that have landed six-figure contracts, designing hardware & software architectures for Data Platform, Portals, SOA and BPM and Cloud Infrastructure. I also excel in merging business and user needs into high-quality, cost-effective design solutions while keeping within budgetary constraints.This page collects my journey through AI — posts, contributions, training, events, and more from the past few years.
