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.

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.

- What 30 Days of AI Use Actually ChangedThe experiment started badly. On Day 1, I built an Obsidian plugin for the AI Learning Path. The plugin worked. The logging habit didn’t. I missed the first entry and had to recover it the next day through a structured interview. That was the first useful signal. The failure wasn’t model quality. It was system… Read more: What 30 Days of AI Use Actually Changed
