Work

After two years working on the open source AI framework Haystack, I joined LlamaIndex in June 2024 as a founding engineer, again working on open source software.

Life

Random stuff that’s going on:

• It’s been a year now since I moved to my new home, and I started realizing that houses are living creatures requiring constant attention and maintenance.
• I keep practicing guitar and studying music, my gear consists of a Seagull S60 acoustic guitar, an Acus One Forstrings 5T amplifier and a travel guitar, a Crafter Mino.

Inspiring notes

• See, managers tell you where you are. Leaders (…) tell you where you’re going.
• Management is not a promotion, management is a change of profession.
• Would you buy a car if it eats 100 liters per 100 kilometers? How about 1000 liters? With computers, we do that all the time.
• You only have this one crazy and precious life. That’s why you owe it to yourself to see who you can become, and how far you can go.
• This is the original sin of software dev: it’s a pop culture where we’re trained to accept gossip as evidence.
