Long-form notes on photography, productivity, and AI. Plain English. No filler.
I’m Andrea. Italian, based in Bangkok since 2022. I work as a Service Delivery Lead, focused on AI, RAG, and agentic projects: the production side of generative AI for enterprise clients. On weekends, street photography on Fujifilm and a steady reading habit. This is where the three threads meet: AI as a tool that compounds, productivity as systems thinking, and photography as a way of seeing the work clearly.
The bar for what gets posted here: it has to be useful, specific, and honest about what I don’t know. If something is uncertain, I say so. If the topic deserves length, the post earns it.

I like to think… Read more: The Asshole Label Is Not a Strategy
- What Survived 90 Days of AI UseOn September 11, I built and tested a negotiation-prep skill against two fictional situations. It became Day 090 when I closed the missing log entry two days later. The Outcome field says Worked. The Reusable field says Needs refinement. I haven’t used it for a real negotiation. That split is the clearest result of the… Read more: What Survived 90 Days of AI Use
