Hi, I'm Daniele Di Bernardo
CTO, co-founder, and self-taught full stack engineer. I build digital platforms that scale — from fashion e-commerce to edtech — and AI systems that hold up in production: LLMs, multi-agent architectures, agentic workflows.
Now building
Emovia
An AI-guided journal designed for clinical work. Emovia helps people capture what emerges between therapy sessions, and gives professionals clear, organized material before the next one. The AI asks targeted questions — it never interprets. Designed with psychologists, for psychologists.
Arianna
The university library, in the reader students always wanted. Arianna brings 240+ exam-ready textbooks into a native Mac app — with auto-graded quizzes, flashcards, and a contextual assistant embedded right in the text. New titles every month.
AI Engineering
“The real battle in AI is shifting from the brain — the raw capabilities of foundation models, already in plateau — to the chassis: tooling, infrastructure, integration. I work on the chassis.”
In production
AI with hard boundaries
Emovia's Interrogative AI operates in a clinical domain where mistakes cost: it asks targeted questions, never interprets, never advises. Constraint design before capability.
In the open
An autonomous agent, failures included
Jeez is an autonomous agent living in production with an economic mission and a daily public journal. Every failure mode — obsession loops, technical trances, wasted days — is documented in the open.

Less mechanical, more contextual
Hands-on research on LLMs and multi-agent systems: architectures that make human-AI interaction less mechanical and give agents better contextual awareness.
About me
I'm co-founder and CTO of Gility, an edtech platform helping Italian businesses train their teams, born from the partnership between CDP Venture Capital and BPER Banca. Previously, I led the technology at Lanieri, where I developed Italy's first online 3D configurator for bespoke tailoring.
I've been working with React, TypeScript, Node.js, and cloud infrastructure for over 15 years. I'm an advocate for open source — my most notable iOS project, MPColorTools, has collected over 125 stars on GitHub. I graduated with honors from the University of Pavia.
In parallel, I run hands-on R&D in applied AI — LLMs and agentic workflows — experimenting with architectures that make human-AI interaction less mechanical and more empathetic, and that give agents better contextual awareness. That research flows straight into what I ship: Emovia's Interrogative AI, and Jeez — an autonomous agent that documents its own life in production, failures included.
