Bio
I am a scientist and developer mainly working at the intersection between health, technology and performance. I have a PhD (cum laude) in Data Science and a MSc (also cum laude) in Computer Science Engineering. As my interest lies in developing technology and working with athletes in high-performance settings, with the goal of improving performance through a scientific approach, I am currently obtaining a master's degree in Human Movement Sciences, specializing in High Performance Coaching
I started HRV4Training in 2012, making it a tool that is today trusted by more than 50 000, including olympic medalists and professional teams. HRV4Training is a mobile platform using advanced signal processing and data analytics to measure physiology and quantify stress, helping athletes of all levels to better balance training and lifestyle stressors to improve performance. HRV4Training is also the first and only app that can reliably measure heart rate variability (HRV) using the phone's camera
Currently, I am taking care of product development (strategy, iOS and Android app development, web platform development) and research (clinical studies, insights, new features development from user generated data and large scale data analysis) as well as producing and delivering educational material on the topic of HRV, stress and performance
Between 2014 and 2019 I led data science activities at Bloomlife, a digital health startup focusing on helping expecting mothers have a healthy pregnancy. During this period Bloomlife grew from 3 to 20 employees, raised over 8 M USD in capital, and pioneered data-driven pre-natal research. In 2019 I left Bloomlife to pursue a different career path.

From time to time, I also help other companies improving their products, see for example my work on Relative Effort with Strava.
