Fogu

★ 1st place, GreenLab Sardegna Hackathon 2026

A free game for phones and PCs that explains Sardinian wildfires and how to prevent them, aimed at young people, families and schools. I built it with Mauro Contu and Marco Caruso as team Firewall for Challenge 3 of the GreenLab Sardegna Hackathon in Cagliari, and it won first place. Each level is a real fire (Guspini 2015, Monti Mannu 2013, Arbus 2017) rebuilt from Forest Corps perimeters and that day's weather: players prepare the land, call 1515 early, and coordinate crews and aircraft. A small network trained on the Canadian FWI and FBP equations drives the spread. The game is in Italian.

Are We Cooked?

A data story on cybersecurity in the AI era, built from 412,863 CVE records and more than 20 public datasets. It follows flaws from disclosure to exploitation, ransomware and spending, counts the CVEs now credited to AI bug finders, and runs a 43-month out-of-sample backtest of CVSS against EPSS for predicting the next exploits. Every manual figure links to its source.

WhisperDrop 2

A Mac app for offline transcription and dictation. I rebuilt it alone in Swift from the Python app I first made with Luca Arisci. It runs whisper.cpp on Metal, with NVIDIA Parakeet on MLX as an experimental engine, and types dictation into other apps. A browser version runs Whisper on WebGPU.

AI Capability Signals

A data story on how fast AI is moving. It tracks ten trends in capability, task length, price, compute and hardware, and a script computes every number from public datasets such as Epoch AI and METR. A bootstrap test checks whether a trend's pace changed, and a projection appears only if the method beat "no change" in a backtest. CI rebuilds the data every Monday.

Rapid Reader

A macOS speed reader for EPUB, PDF, Word, Markdown and web articles. It shows one word at a time around a highlighted focus letter, and you can switch to the full text and click any word to resume from there. The browser version keeps its library on the device and works offline.

Ciclismo Sicuro

An Italian-language dashboard that compares cycling safety in all 110 Italian provincial capitals, built from ISTAT crash data for 2015-2024. A Poisson model with empirical-Bayes shrinkage compares each city's recorded deaths and injuries with the number expected. A test with 2,000 random weight sets shows how much each rank depends on editorial choices.

OpenNaga

An independent macOS app that replaces Razer Synapse for the Naga V2 HyperSpeed, a mouse Synapse does not support on the Mac. It remaps the 12 side buttons, sets DPI and polling rate over the USB receiver, and can save a profile into the mouse's own memory with a backup. It began as a fork of DParent10's NagaController. I rewrote the interface and wrote the USB protocol layer.

Italian Death Clock

A bilingual data story about Italy's pension system, built from official projections and observed demographic data. It keeps measurements, projections, and the user-controlled purchasing-power example clearly separated.
