About

I'm from Toronto currently based in Milan. Excited about improving access to modern data + technology solutions in sport and business.


Day-to-day, I work in Data with the MileIQ product team at Bending Spoons. I did my Master's in Statistics (Data Science) at the University of Bologna.

Outside of that, I'm usually with family, friends, or working on a side project.
