From the location to opening. Then improve the system.

My core work is technical and operational in retail: I manage store openings, refits and technical works, coordinating sites, suppliers, installations and activities through handover and opening. Software, hardware and instrumentation are additional skills I also apply to personal projects such as DriveOS, Casa Asciutta and LowSpec 3.0.

02 The professional process

A store is the visible result of a chain of technical decisions.

The work begins before the first drawing and continues after opening: every phase creates information for the next one.

Decision system

OrderBrain

Store scoring, stock-out exposure, product decisions and operational priorities translated into a readable interface.

Working principle
Do not stop at solving the problem. Improve the system that produced it.

Field issues, costs and recurring friction become inputs for better procedures, controls, dashboards and decision tools.

04 Personal projects

Built outside work, from a real need.

Alongside my professional role, I build personal systems and instruments that mix code, electronics, mechanics, optics and interface design, then I test and refine them in real use.
