Hi! I'm Enrico.
I'm in IT since 2006 and my role (at welance) mostly involves deciding how to build a digital product, as well as form or join a team to collectively plan and create it — lately with AI agents doing a good share of the typing, and me sitting them. I also help the org take data-driven decisions.
Along the way I co-founded a few companies, some digital, one made of wood, and I still enjoy helping early-stage founders get unstuck and getting to know smart people and ideas.
TLDR: Engineering and Product + AI Sitter.
