Hello, I’m Paul a Software Engineer & AI Researcher.
Let Me Explain
I hold a cum laude Master’s in AI from the University of Pisa, where my thesis introduced a novel autoregressive GNN for multivariate time series generation. My core focus is building intelligent systems and tools that combine machine learning with interactive, playful interfaces. I work across graph-based time series modeling, game/XR-inspired interaction design, and rapid prototyping of AI-driven experiences.
