About me

The story so far

Frittata Labs (2016–2025)

Frittata Labs started in 2016 in Utah as a small endeavor to explore language design and runtime architecture. What began as an experiment in composability and protocol-driven systems evolved into something more: a real consultancy and product shop.

I joined in 2017 as the first engineer, initially balancing this work with a full-time role. The problems we tackled—evaluators, macro expansion, distributed systems—kept pulling us back. By 2023, I committed to it full-time.

Over the last few years, I've worked across the US and spent over two years based in Italy and working with European teams. Those years taught me that good architecture is universal, but precision and clarity transcend language and border.

What shaped me

• Language design: Swift, Clojure, Java. Learning how runtimes think and how to make them think better.
• Distributed systems: Protocol design, namespace hydration, hot-swappable semantics. Systems that compose instead of couple.
• Work across continents: Building with teams in the US and Italy taught me that good code and clear communication transcend geography.
• Pragmatism: Shipping things that work, not things that theoretically should work. Theory matters, but so does reality.

Languages & cultures

I'm fluent in Italian, French, Dutch, and Japanese. I've lived and worked across the US and Italy. This matters not just professionally—it's shaped how I think about abstraction, precision, and the beauty of systems that work without fanfare.

Now

I'm building Clockwork—a protocol-powered Clojure runtime that reimagines evaluation from first principles. It runs on iOS with live REPL iteration. It supports hot-swappable strategies, remote namespace hydration, and macro expansion as a service.

I'm open to: full-time roles where I can ship language tooling or distributed systems, consulting on architecture and runtime design, and interesting problems that require someone who can hold the whole system in their head.
