Canaletto's painting of Piazza San Marco in Venice: arcades on either side lead to the basilica and its bell tower under a wide blue sky.

Ciao, I’m
Enrico.

I build stuff for people.

I like the hour
when nothing exists yet.

Chisono

I turn early ideas into things people actually use.

I’m a fullstack engineer based in Venice, and most of what I build now is AI products. I studied computer engineering in Padua and learned most of what I know by building things fast, with other people.

Hi, I’m Enrico :)

The story so far,
in four acts.

  1. 2017 – 2023

    Act I: The student

    Snake in x86 assembly at school, then computer engineering at the University of Padua. Networks in C, software in C++, and security courses from Metropolia and Cantabria on the side.

    What stayed

    Know what’s underneath.

  2. 2023 – 2025

    Act II: The hackathons

    15+ hackathons, from Amsterdam to Bangkok to Buenos Aires. 48 hours, a few friends, and something that has to work on stage by Sunday.

    What stayed

    Decide fast, ship.

  3. 2024 – 2026

    Act III: The studio

    I cofounded Builders Garden, an AI-driven product studio. Technical lead for 6 clients and 9 products in two years, from AI assistants that live in group chats to a farm with 5k DAU.

    What stayed

    The team comes first.

  4. 2026 – today

    Act IV: The product

    Today I’m a fullstack engineer at Smartness, working on Smartchat: the AI that answers a hotel’s guests on WhatsApp, Booking.com and Airbnb, at any hour and in their own language.

    What will stay

    Ask me in a year.

Francesco Guardi's Fantastic Landscape: the ruins of a Roman portico on the shore of a lagoon, a small boat being poled past, under a broad blue sky.

If you’re making
something from nothing,

I’d like to hear about it.
