Lead Developer — PACY × Google.org

Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma

PACY (Pro-Active CYbersecurity) is a generative-AI platform born from the collaboration between Google.org, Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma and Politecnico di Milano to strengthen the cybersecurity posture of Italian SMEs: an AI virtual expert, trained with industry specialists, guides companies in natural language through incident triage, first containment actions and incident reporting after a cyber attack. Lead developer of the platform from the first line of code, within the CoserityLab research group: I designed and implemented the AI system (Google Gemini and Gemma orchestrated in a multi-agent architecture), led data gathering and API selection, and developed the platform, frontend and backend (Flask). PACY has been acquired by Par-Tec for commercial distribution in Italy.
