About Me

I was born and raised in the Toronto area. I come from an Italian family, my grandparents immigrated to Toronto in their early twenties. With no money upon arriving, they founded one of the largest Italian bakeries in Toronto. I owe my ambition and drive to them.

Currently, I have an MBA from the Rotman School of Management. In 2020 I completed my undergraduate degree in Engineering Science at the University of Toronto, where I majored in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

These experiences have taught me technical skills like programming, software development, and AI and Machine Learning. More importantly, I have been able to develop communication, time management, problem solving and teamwork skills.

My ultimate ambition is to combine my technical knowledge with my business drive. I have a passion for innovation, disruptive technologies, and generally using technology to improve quality of life. My ideal role involves working collaboratively with others to positively influence the world, through entrepreneurship or pre-existing ventures.
