Welcome

This is Human Digital Minds — a space where you'll find many things. Projects I'm working on, quite diverse, not just digital. Some come from my work in artificial intelligence, others from ideas I've been carrying for a while and finally decided to build for real.

The Autonomous Data Engineer

My main focus right now: a family of open source products that bring AI agents into analytics engineering — giving teams a clear view of their data estate and a safe way to operate it across Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, and Power BI. Already in production with enterprise data teams, and built on a simple idea: AI as a colleague, not a replacement.

Writing & other open source

Alongside the products, my work in artificial intelligence has produced a couple of publications — one digital, one in print — and a handful of smaller open source tools.

Human Digital Minds

Exploring the intersections of human and digital intelligence. A collection of reflections on AI, neurobiology, and philosophy of mind (2024, English).

This work later originated the book "Qualcuno Risponde", currently available in Italian only.

A handful of initiatives, then. Drop me a line if any of these interest you — as a customer, collaborator, or simply curious.
