Golden Astra: A Star Trek Inspired Musical Concept
Golden Astra emerged as a playful experiment with Suno AI during an AI session I led in San Francisco for a major investment bank. The goal was to showcase the potential of AI-generated content with just a few simple prompts. Star Trek became the obvious theme—San Francisco is, after all, home to Starfleet Academy and the iconic spaceport.
Set against a futuristic backdrop, the musical explores the timeless battle between science and misinformation, inspired by the unforgettable quote: “Eating the cats, eating the dogs,” to anchor its place in the timeline of this “operAI.” While just a brief foray into AI creativity, it’s a tribute to Star Trek’s vision of exploration, knowledge, and the pursuit of truth.
Friday Prototypes (Mostly Harmless)
From cutting-edge AI tools to timeless LEGO bricks, from 3D modeling to printed artifacts, from Roblox hacks to hand-painted miniatures—this page quietly celebrates the joy of making.
Most of these are Friday-to-Sunday builds. No business goals—just curiosity at work.
This is a playground for testing ideas, not perfecting them. No polish stuff. Just a safe sandbox for side quests and unfinished explorations.
...and YES, I am a SCI-FI & Star Wars person.
The warehouse: Architectural Concept for PAARM & Beyond
A blank space evolves step by step—a black cube for AR/VR demos, a showcase for products, an R&D hub with workstations, and even a rocket launch control room. A sandbox for me to wander through the possibilities
Deposit 51 | Sora first short video
At Area 51, there is a storage facility for alien vehicles that have crashed or been recovered over the years. For decades, the facility has been a hub of collaboration between seasoned human workers and tall Greys who have been living on Earth for more than 50 years.
…and then -one hour later- I ran out of OpenAI credit with Chat GPT Plus :D so we’ll never know how the story ends.
Star Wars LRBTG (Living Room Big Table Game)
Inspired by the business games board + cards I’ve designed for companies, I decided during a vacation to create one dedicated to Star Wars. This project involved plenty of hands-on work, from modeling ships from scratch to conceptualizing the game on Miro. 3D-printed ships, hand-painted planets, custom cards, and a sprawling board designed in Illustrator bring it to life. Built for strategic play, its engine favors tactics over dice rolls. Matches last days, and multiple players can join forces with either the light or the dark side.
Not meant for distribution, it’s a creative playground where design, strategy, and Star Wars collide in pure fundome.
Zelda: The under water world
I’ve always loved adventure games with a touch of puzzle-solving. It all started with Pitfall and its legendary creator, David Crane—co-founder of Activision—whom I’ve had the privilege of meeting several times, both in Italy, where he was a speaker at Frontiers, and here in Silicon Valley. From there, my passion grew with titles like Zelda, Tomb Raider, Oceanhorn, and, above all, the Uncharted saga of the Drake brothers. Open-world adventures have always been my favorite escape.
When MidJourney arrived, it unlocked the ability to create visually stunning concepts, transcending individual graphical skills. Inspired by this, I envisioned a bold new chapter in the Zelda saga—an adventure set entirely underwater. A sophisticated vision, shaped purely for the joy of seeing “my” Zelda imaginary underwater world taking shape.
Rescuing the Death Star
Modeling, 3D printing, and restoring the Death Star superlaser (LEGO Star Wars)
During a recent move, a friend at Google AR unearthed an old LEGO Death Star destined for his driveway with a “FREE” sign. Before abandoning it, he called me, warning it was missing parts and in rough shape. Forty-five minutes later, it was mine.
Back home, I cleaned it up and assessed the damage. My goal wasn’t a full restoration, just to make it presentable and integrate it into my studio’s LEGO Star Wars collection. Unfortunately, the iconic superlaser was entirely missing.
I downloaded the LEGO manual, modeled the superlaser base, and had a friend with a larger 3D printer produce it. To finish, I glued LEGO bricks onto the printed part and used spare pieces to craft a convincing replica.
The Star Wars Sandbox
A collection of playful projects inspired by a galaxy far, far away. From cardboard Sandcrawlers and 3D-printed spaceships to AI-generated visuals of Grogu and custom Star Wars-themed accessories, this gallery is where creativity meets the Force. Whether it’s modeling, painting, or even coding with an AI a Star Wars-skinned version of Asteroids, each experiment is a celebration of the saga’s endless potential to inspire.
