Things I've built and still care about
A few projects I'm proud of, in different states of life. Some are in active production, some are deliberate experiments, some are quietly maintained because people still rely on them.
RedCarbon
Building, 2024–present
Compound AI for Security Operations Centers (SOC). A system of agents that triage alerts, correlate signals across telemetry, and produce auditable reasoning over real adversarial traffic. The hard part isn't the model — it's the orchestration, the evaluation, and the way the system fails.
redcarbon.aiwildgecu
Open source, 2026
A minimal AI agent framework in Go. Small surface area, explicit control flow, built around the idea that most agent code should be boring code. Written to be read.

Open source, maintained
A self-hostable email sending service. Started as a side project, kept alive because people quietly rely on it. Maintained at a sustainable cadence — bug fixes, dependency updates, no new ambitious features.

Archived, 2015–2019
Cloud robotics platform for deploying ROS applications across fleets of mobile robots. Co-founded out of the Polytechnic of Turin; closed in 2019. The infrastructure work — distributed state, failure modes, the gap between demo and production — still shapes how I think about compound systems.
