AI Systems Engineer

I build systems that
actually ship.

I'm an operations engineer who builds AI-powered tools for real businesses. Production systems that handle orders, automate workflows, and solve problems people have right now.

About

I'm Silvio. Operations engineer who thinks in systems and builds with AI.

I work at the overlap of business operations, automation, and AI. I design how things should work end-to-end, then build the systems to make it happen. Whether it's a bakery's order management, a career search pipeline, an always-on personal AI, or a service design framework, I like problems where the right system can replace busywork with clarity.

I build with Python, TypeScript, and Next.js. I think with Obsidian, spreadsheets, and way too many markdown files. Every project here was built solo, end-to-end: architecture, design, implementation, testing, deployment. Systems thinking, AI-assisted development, and a refusal to ship anything half-done.

How I work

  • Local-first architecture. Your data, your control.
  • AI as augmentation, not replacement
  • Documentation-driven development
  • Test everything that matters, ship what works
  • Minimum viable complexity: the simplest system that solves the problem

Off the clock

When I'm not building systems, I'm probably doing one of these:

Gaming

FPS and RPGs mostly. I like games where the system IS the game.

Learning French

Built an entire SRS system for it. Yes, I automated my language learning.

Working out

Gym sessions tracked through Health Connect. The data feeds this widget.
