Management Engineer building AI-assisted automation for business operations. In my current role at a luxury Italian design and furniture company in Los Angeles, I build and implement AI-assisted tools that streamline operations across design, showroom activity, international logistics, final delivery, and on-site installation — including MCP-based systems (Model Context Protocol) that integrate with ERP platforms, reducing manual workflows by ~80%, and two e-commerce platforms that created new revenue channels. I also train in supply chain financial analysis, including expenditure forecasting, budget-to-actual variance analysis, and profitability modeling across US-European operations. I build these tools using AI-native development workflows — leveraging large language models, agentic coding environments, and local models to go from problem identification to working solutions. My strength is translating complex business processes into effective automation, rather than traditional software engineering from scratch.
