Paroletta
La parola del giorno. One Italian word a day, about thirty seconds, and something to argue about in the group chat.
Live on the web and on iOS. Android is in closed testing on Google Play.
Building the software was never the hard part.
Enginery is a one-person software shop. My goal is to launch and grow niche products using an AI-native PDLC from end to end.
Cycle 1 · running now 31 Aug to 13 Sept 2026
Instead of building outright, this cycle is focused on distribution, intercepting demand from existing audiences, and validating new hypotheses.

All of it → The work
My products all scratch a personal itch and begin by dogfooding them before releasing them more widely to the public.
Open source
Work Context Protocol
An open protocol for work continuity, so an AI agent starts the day knowing what happened yesterday.
Open source, with a hosted service at workcontextprotocol.io. Connecting is one command.
Live
Salotto
A room where a group speaks Italian, with bilingual captions running underneath so a missing word does not end the sentence.
The room is live at salottolang.com. The first scheduled session has not been held yet.
Built, not launched
Vine Trails
Where the wine was, who you were with, and whether it was any good.
Built for iOS and in daily use on a trip. Not published to the App Store.
Live
Filotto
Cloze drills, and a nightly chapter checked against the words you have proved you know before it is sent.
The drill is live at filottolang.com. Nightly chapters are paused, and the project is parked until October while the other two Italian products get the attention.
Live
Pet Med Reminder
Which pill, which pet, and whether anybody already gave it.
On the App Store, and updated most weeks.
Shipped, quiet
Show Notes
Podcasts are information trapped in audio. Show Notes is read-first, listen-optional.
Shipped and running at shownotes.dev. Low activity, and not this cycle's focus.
The Short List
Private
The Short List
Compares cars on what they actually cost per month, not on the sticker price.
Private and access-controlled. There is no public link.
II. How it is run
The playbook → Strategy, OKRs, and transparent reporting
I work in 2-week cycles, with clear objectives for each product that roll up and align under my strategy and vision. I share these transparently as an experiment and to share what's going well, what's not, and how I adjust accordingly.
