Co-Founder & CTO at ReSmart

🏆 Smart50 Awards 2025 — ReSmart ranked #14 among Australia's smartest companies

I'm an Italian-Australian technology entrepreneur and the Co-Founder and CTO of ReSmart (formerly RecycleSmart), Australia's leading door-to-door recycling collection service.

We help households and businesses recycle hard-to-recycle items—soft plastics, textiles, e-waste, batteries, and more—that would otherwise end up in landfill. Since founding the company, we've grown to serve communities across multiple Australian states, processing thousands of collections weekly.

With over 20 years in software development, I've led engineering teams at some of Australia's most innovative tech companies before channeling that experience into building technology for environmental impact.

Adventures

Mongol Rally 2017

Drove a 1989 Fiat Panda from London to Siberia—10,000 miles across Europe and Central Asia for charity. An adventure that changed my life and taught me that the best journeys are the ones where nothing goes according to plan.
