Born in Puglia and trained as an operatic tenor at the Conservatorio “E.R. Duni” di Matera, I went on to earn a degree in Computer Science from the Università di Bari, where my thesis on content-based recommendation systems examined the deep entanglement of machine learning and human preference.
As a soloist, I have appeared on major stages across Italy and Europe and on distinguished platforms abroad. Now based in the United States, I have built a parallel career in data and systems engineering while remaining closely involved in music, stage direction, and the performing arts.
I do not experience these as separate lives. My work lives at the intersection of technology, culture, memory, and identity — grounded, in particular, in the archaeology, history, and symbolic inheritance of Southern Italy. I write and speak about artificial intelligence and human judgment, Italy and America, faith, origins, and the permanence of place.
I maintain no social media presence except for YouTube and Spotify.
