AI consulting and training
I help companies work out where AI is needed , and then I build it.
Three years of a PhD in computer vision, then two as CTO of a startup that took that research inside companies that manufacture things. Now I work on my own.

From research to production
A master's in data science, then a PhD in computer vision at Sapienza, with the work published at conferences where it gets examined thoroughly before it comes out. I was then CTO of an industrial startup for two years, which is the job where you find out how much of that research survives contact with a real company.

The problem
The three things I get told most often
"I need this part."
An email arrives with a crooked photo. Before anyone can quote a price, someone has to work out which component it is, and it can take two people a couple of days.
"Only Bruno knows how to do it."
Forty years of the trade sitting in one person's head. Nobody has ever had the time to write it down, and in two years Bruno retires.
"We tried ChatGPT."
Someone in the office started using it on their own. It isn't clear with which documents, or whether the company agrees, and so far nobody has had the chance to talk about it.
How a job usually goes
Four steps. You can stop after any of them, and what has been done up to that point stays yours anyway.
A diagnostic half-day
What comes out of it
A list of the places where time is lost, ordered by what they cost.
AI audit
What comes out of it
A document that stays yours, and that you can show to whoever you like.
Custom software
What comes out of it
Something your people open on Monday morning and actually use.
Service retainer
What comes out of it
A person who knows the system and who you can call when you need to.
The evidence
Some of the things I've built
Mechanical engineering · real client project
3D Parts Portal
The customer opens the 3D model of the machine they bought, clicks the part they need, and the request reaches the company already matched to that component's internal code.
Industry · in production
Procedo
Video shot on the shop floor becomes step-by-step procedures, and the people doing the work can ask questions of their own company's documentation. I was co-founder and CTO for two years; today I follow it as an advisor.
Agentic tooling
Agentic Workflow Toolkit
A suite of AI-agent skills that automate my team's ops and engineering workflows, from daily standups to LLM-prompt review.
It starts with people
Since February 2025 the AI Act requires companies that use artificial intelligence tools to ensure a minimum level of training for their staff, and to be able to document it. You'll do that course anyway: it may as well be good for something.
Venice is my base
I live and work in Venice. Most of the companies I work with sit in the Veneto and Friuli regions, close enough that the first step can happen face to face: half a day on the shop floor, alongside the people who do that job every day.
After that, distance matters little. Diagnosis, building and maintenance all carry on remotely, and courses run in a classroom or online, whichever suits you better. If you are further away, we meet once and then keep going at a distance.

Half an hour to see whether we can work together
If it isn't the right job for me I'll tell you straight away, and if I know someone better suited I'll put you in touch.
