About me
I've spent over a decade chasing the invisible.
And what I found convinced me that the problem isn't technology. It's our relationship with it.
MY STORY
How it all started.
My path didn't start in a lab. It started with a question nobody around me could answer: if we're surrounded by invisible technology 24 hours a day, what does that do to a human body? The answers I found were either too comfortable ('nothing happens') or too catastrophic ('we're all going to get sick'). Neither held up against the evidence.
So I decided to research it myself. In 2012, together with Marianella Romero, I founded NOXTAK with an idea that sounded strange back then: that it was possible to live with technology without giving it up or fearing it. Not to block the signals, but to filter what makes them harmful. From that idea, SPIRO was born —the technology that today is patented with the USPTO and present in over 50 countries.
Along the way came recognition I wasn't chasing but that validated the direction: the gold German Innovation Award in 2021, the CES 2022 showcase, and the creation of a foundation —EFEIA— so that the science behind all of this would be open, rigorous, and peer-reviewed. Today I also train professionals through GEMS Academy, because a technology without people who understand it changes nothing.
What I believe.
I don't pick sides. I follow the data, even when it leads somewhere I didn't expect. Honest science changes its mind when the evidence changes.
Alarmism paralyzes, and denial leaves us defenseless. Critical thinking is the only useful path: understanding the real risk and acting accordingly.
Pointing at the problem is easy. I build answers: technology, standards, and training that people can actually use.

If you made it this far, you probably think like I do.
So let's do it together. Every week I share what I research and question with the people of The Circle. No noise, no fear, just ideas worth thinking about.
