about me
I'm Johnny Silicio (aka italianconcerto, aka Luca Mannini), an AI engineer based in Italy. I build and ship LLM-powered products — conversational AI, retrieval systems, and the infrastructure around them.
I care about making AI systems that actually work in production: reliable, fast, and useful. This blog is where I share what I learn doing that.
what I work on
- Large Language Models (LLMs) and conversational AI
