Legacy databases? Fragmented data? Does AI feel like smoke and mirrors?
I turn complex data into systems that actually work.
I help SMEs, institutions and startups build solid data systems — with the same rigor I bring to a scientific publication.
Does this sound familiar?
The problem isn’t your data. It’s how it’s organized.
Your data lives in different spreadsheets that no one can cross-reference anymore.
You’ve heard about AI but don’t know who to trust.
Every database change is an adventure.
You need to prove the use of digital technologies for a tender or grant application.
How I work
A predictable method, in three steps.
01
Audit
Paid, three tiers (Starter / Standard / Premium) based on depth and company size.
02
Plan
A document with priorities, timelines and estimates, included in the audit.
03
Delivery
Turnkey project, ongoing support, or skills transfer to your in-house team.
Who’s guiding you
I’m not a technology salesman.
I’m a researcher (PhD, 40+ publications) and lecturer at Politecnico di Torino who has brought the same scientific rigor to projects for SMEs, institutions and startups for 15 years. If a solution won’t hold up, I’ll tell you before I sell it to you.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ
What happens if I’m no longer available to continue the project?
The audit plan is designed to ensure continuity even if interrupted: the documentation produced remains usable by whoever continues the work.
Do you also work with small companies?
Yes. The method is designed specifically for SMEs, not just large organizations with structured IT teams.
Why is the audit paid rather than free?
A free audit is often just the first step of a sales pitch. A paid audit guarantees an honest analysis, even when the answer is “you don’t need anything else”.
How is this different from an agency?
An agency sells projects. Here, the method comes before the project: if a solution won’t hold up, I’ll tell you before I sell it to you.
Which audit tier should I choose?
It depends on the depth of the problem and the size of your company. The Standard tier is the most common starting point for an SME.
