Hi, I’m Riccardo.

I’m an Avid Reader, Pragmatic Thinker, Operations Manager, Web3 Founder and Mindfulness Practitioner.

On this website you’ll find more about me, my projects and my writings. I’m on a never-ending quest for a clearer mind, and I try to share what I find out.

I also publish a weekly newsletter on Substack, called mindful manager. I try to share 2-3 ideas I’m pondering or consuming, and some updates about my writings. Subscribe here if you’re interested.

Something about me

29 yo engineer, born and raised in Italy. In my day job I try to leverage data to help steering the logistics division of a multinational company in the fashion industry, leading a small team of data-driven talents. In my “free” time I try to build, test, learn, think and generally make everyday different from the previous. 
During university I played with dozens of ideas, but the more concrete ones were in the 3D printing and chatbot’s spaces. Fun fact: my current company hired me after winning a hackathon and developing a working chatbot for one of its brands in under 24 hours.
(Un)fortunately, my mind cannot focus on one thing only, and in late 2015 I discovered what has become my biggest passion to date: Bitcoin (In 2015 people were in “Bitcoin”, then it was “crypto”, then “blockchain” and now it’s “web3”). What started as pure curiosity became a 7+ years crazy journey, during which I was lucky enough to experiment a bunch, invest in many projects, meet my best friends and incorporate my own businesses: a web3 consulting boutique and an NFT-marketplace product.
My business story ends here, but not my personal interests ;) I’ve practiced meditation for more than 5 years, I’m a padel (amateur) player, and I try to read a book a week, mainly on business, philosophy, mindfulness, and even classic literature.
All the content I publish, including this website, is completely free and comes from the desire to share what I'm discovering on my never-ending journey towards a clearer mind.
