Find the signal.
Build the leverage.

I map complex projects, diagnose where value or risk is hiding, and build the models, adapters and decision tools that make it visible.

01 / Position

Complex projects rarely lack information. They lack a useful view.

I connect the commercial, technical and operational system, then go into the data, code or workflow where leverage is hiding.

Why now

AI and modern software make it possible to build project-specific intelligence at a fraction of the previous cost. The point is not to “add AI”; it is to turn fragmented evidence into a clearer decision.

01 / MAP

See the whole project.

02 / DIAGNOSE

Find the decisive constraint.

03 / BUILD

Make the next decision easier.

02 / Capability

Turn fragmented project information into usable intelligence.

Start with the hard live question, understand the system around it, and build the smallest useful model, adapter or decision tool.

01Project design

Map the project

Resources, infrastructure, suppliers, markets, permits, economics and dependencies.

02Intelligence

Connect and rebuild the signal

Documents, telemetry, market data and commitments, plus the drivers, APIs and adapters needed to make the underlying signal reliable.

03Decision tools

Turn signal into action

Models, visualisations, custom tools, action graphs and workflows built around live management decisions.

Not another dashboard.

A project-specific combination of data flows, AI, deterministic code and custom tools, grounded in operating context and built around a decision.

03 / Method

Build in small, provable increments; high value first.

Understand the system. Isolate the leverage. Build enough to test it. Expand when the work proves useful.

01

Understand

Learn the project, its operating context and the hard live question.

02

Isolate

Find the constraint, missing connection or unreliable signal controlling the decision.

03

Build

Create the smallest useful model, adapter, visualisation or working tool.

04

Prove

Put it in use, test whether it improves the decision, and expand only when it earns its place.

04 / Working proof

EnergyForge: from site to decision-ready model.

An open energy-modelling and simulation platform that automates site targeting and turns real-world energy sites into decision-ready digital twins.

01 / Target & segment

Find and measure the site

Automate prospect targeting; collate local grid and market context; segment usable areas and estimate capacity.

02 / Build the twin

Connect the system

Link site geometry, generation, storage, load, grid and market components in a configurable graph model.

03 / Test the case

Compare what could work

Run scenarios, backtest assumptions and monitor market and operating performance as the project develops.

Mining project assessment

Greek Ni Exploration Project: feasibility support from evidence to decision.

A decision framework for early-stage project assessment. It combines project records, public data, spatial models and design criteria in one working document. Management and technical teams can see what is known, what is inferred, what remains missing and which work should be done next.

01 / IntegratePrivate project records and national data services
02 / ModelScripted GIS and interactive 3D terrain and geology views
03 / TestTechnical and economic design criteria
04 / DecideEvidence gaps, work priorities and next decisions

Supports project screening, work-program design and feasibility planning. Formal resource estimation, engineering design and independent feasibility work remain separate governed workstreams.

Next exemplar

Supplier performance

Compare solar telemetry with supplier commitments, separate meaningful divergence from noise, and identify where management should investigate or act.

Where I fit

Cross-functional projects where commercial, technical and operating questions are entangled; important signal is fragmented; or the team needs to move from research to a decision.

Based in Italy. Working globally.

06 / Conversation

Start with the right first question.

A bounded, high-value question. Small enough to move quickly, useful enough to prove its value, and capable of expanding if the fit is strong.

Start small. Prove what matters.

The first step might be a diagnostic, model or working prototype. Let the evidence shape what comes next.

For the right project, I’m prepared to take the first bounded piece of work on spec.
