My fascination with Language and IT led me to become a linguist, specialised in Corpus and Cognitive Linguistics, and CADS (Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies).

Having worked in several interdisciplinary projects I developed methods and tools to collaborate with different disciplines - from the project design to the data analysis, using Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) - providing a linguistic perspective to better understand the data under investigation.

I actively collaborate with the civic factory OvestLab, applying language and data analysis to projects concerning social inclusion, civic innovation, and urban regeneration.
From February 2019 I am vice-president of CivicWise Italia.
