Growing up in Rome gave me something that no computer science degree could: a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, beauty, and things that last.
Generating content with AI is easy. Generating content that is consistently good enough to ship is a completely different problem.
Aviation Infinity was built to help pilots pass their exams. Adding AI-powered adaptive learning transformed it from a question bank into a personal flight instructor.
Playground prompts fail in production. Here's how production prompt engineering differs - covering consistency, cost, latency, and safety at scale.

Integrating LLMs into production apps is nothing like the demos. Here's what I learned shipping LLM features to real users, mistakes included.
I migrated multiple production apps to the Next.js App Router before it was stable. Here are the real growing pains, the wins, and why I'd do it again.
When ChatGPT launched in late 2022, I knew every AI product I had built needed to be rethought. Here is how I approached the rebuild.
After six years of building products as a solo founder, the biggest lesson is that products compound like interest. each one makes the next easier and more valuable.
I'm a developer, not a designer - but I maintain consistent UI across 6 products. Here's how building a design system as a solo founder works with Tailwind.
How the idea for AvioSharing was born from a simple observation: flying is expensive, and pilots waste money flying alone when they could share costs.

Most SEO advice assumes a content team and a budget. Here's what actually moves the needle when you're one person building and writing.
Want To Be a Pilot connects aspiring pilots with experienced aviators. Building it taught me mentorship products are supply-constrained and hard to scale.

I switched from CSS modules and styled-components to Tailwind CSS across every product. Here's why it eliminated naming decisions.
Geographic expansion isn't just translation - it's regulation, payments, and localization. Here's what I learned going multi-country.
Aviation Infinity reached 10,000 student pilots. The growth was institutional: flight school partnerships, word-of-mouth, and content quality.
I've integrated Stripe across 5 products - subscriptions, marketplace payouts, multi-currency. Here are the integration lessons the docs don't teach.
A two-sided marketplace isn't one product, it's two. Here's what Babonbo taught me about balancing supply and demand.

2020 was supposed to be a growth year. Instead it became a survival year. The lessons are about resilience, adaptability, and the advantage of being small.
I've deployed on AWS, Heroku, and self-managed VPS. Vercel is the first platform where deployment became invisible. Here's why I moved every product to Vercel.
By late 2020, many aviation startups had shut down or pivoted. I doubled down because the pilot shortage was deferred, not gone.
Product-market fit isn't a single moment of revelation. It's a collection of signals - some obvious, some subtle. Here are the ones I watch for.
Converting JavaScript to TypeScript broke everything - temporarily. Six months later it was my best engineering decision. Here's the migration guide I wish I'd had.
New Pilot Shop started as an experiment: premium pilot uniforms, designed in Italy, sold online. Small markets with passionate customers can surprise you.
2020 taught every founder that uncertainty is the default. The products that survived had the most adaptable foundations, not the best plans.

I've repriced every product I've built. The lessons: charge more than you think, simplify your tiers, and never compete on price in a niche market.
I migrated all my products from React + Express to Next.js. One framework for frontend, backend, and deployment transformed my productivity.
Pilot exam prep was broken - outdated PDFs, no adaptive learning, no mobile. Aviation Infinity was my answer, built by a pilot who suffered through it.
In 2019, AI for web design meant rule-based systems and template matching. It taught me how to build AI products that deliver value even when the AI is primitive.
I built an AI website generator using rule-based systems and design heuristics. Small businesses need websites and can't afford designers. Here's the origin story.
In my second year building products, I learned a counterintuitive truth: shipping faster means building less. Fewer features, simpler architecture, more shipped products.
After building restaurant, travel story, and border crossing tools, I kept seeing the same gap in travel tech: the last mile of traveler experience was unserved.
API-first design produces cleaner architecture, faster iteration, and products that scale. Here's why I design the API before touching the frontend.
Building bilingual products isn't a translation problem - it's a design problem. Here's how I built English/Spanish products that feel native in both languages.
Real-time data pipelines aren't just about speed - they're about staleness, reliability, and trust. Here's what I learned shipping BorderBot's live wait times.
The Node.js and MongoDB stack isn't perfect - it's practical. Here's why I default to this combo for every new product and how it gets me from idea to shipped fast.
Want to win hackathons? It's not about better code - it's about storytelling, scoping, and demo impact. Here's my playbook.
CalHacks at UC Berkeley was the largest hackathon I'd ever attended. 36 hours of building, no sleep, and the most compressed learning experience.
Brojure was a platform for creating visual travel stories. Building it taught me why beautiful products aren't always successful ones.
San Diego isn't Silicon Valley, and that's its advantage. Lower costs, strong universities, and border proximity make it ideal for bootstrapped founders.
BorderBot used machine learning to predict US-Mexico border wait times. My first AI product taught me that data products differ from feature products.
After one year of building web products, I've made every beginner mistake and learned lessons that no tutorial covers. Here are the ten that changed how I work.
After one year of building software products, I've made every beginner mistake and learned lessons that no tutorial covers. Here are the ten that changed how I work.
Living between Tijuana and San Diego means two economies, two languages, and two cultures. That duality shaped how I build products.
Aviation is technologically advanced in the sky and completely analog on the ground. That gap is where I build products.

Tijuana has a growing tech scene most people don't know about. Proximity to San Diego and hustle culture make it a quiet startup hub.
My first web startup was a restaurant platform on the US-Mexico border. It failed as a business but taught me product building fundamentals.
My first web app was terrible. Messy code, ugly design, zero users. But it taught me how to ship, the only skill that matters early on.
Flight training is expensive, slow, and unforgiving. The discipline of learning to fly in Italy taught me how to build products under real constraints.
I spent years training to fly airplanes, then started building software. The skills that make a good pilot also make a good product builder.
