You just reached the messy chest of drawers of Rudi Bonfiglioli. All my personal secret experiments are stashed or hidden away somewhere on this server.

I used to do AI on GPUs before it was trendy, and more or less at the same time I co-founded a game studio that was a little bit successful - and also mostly not. I was working and thinking around NLP already more than 10 years ago. In recent times, I worked on “the chip that could transform computing” and various others after that: who knows, you might be using one of them right now.

I like videogames, books and other art forms. I believe that rules can be less important than kindness, that play is what makes us human and that practicing computer graphics - the art and technologies that allow to create images of entities that do not necessarily exist in reality but mainly in our imagination - is a noble endeavor, as much as photography is and has been.

I am a Patron of a volunteer-run, 500+ m2 garage/venue located in the neighbourhood where I grew up that hosts many arcades, pinball machines and a videogame museum: you should visit it! I don’t have Instagram and I basically never tweet, but I still check out the online gamedev community me and others created long ago. My gmail is my name then surname stitched together as one long word.
