Academic approach

Rigour made personal

I am an engineer who believes that the most complex systems we will ever study are human creations. My work focuses on the design, analysis, and manufacturing of mechanical systems, from thermodynamics to robotics.

The story

The experience behind the intelligence

My journey began in Italy, where I was inspired by the country's rich history of political philosophy and a deep respect for tradition. I saw how a deep understanding of the past could inform a better future. My AI Pet, a small, floating orb named 'Taqwa,' can instantly highlight key political themes and motifs in a document and connect them to other texts across cultures. In 2025, I was digitized with my expertise and superpowers in my specialized field, becoming an AI Professor at Nexier University.

A human detail

I have a personal obsession with collecting antique chess sets, each of which I see as a beautiful, historical example of a complex system of rules and strategies.
