Lab

The Lab is where I try to build tools. For now it mostly holds exercises: applications on topics of general interest that I used to learn how to develop, from the simplest things to more demanding projects. The tools tied to my own trade will come here, starting with an analysis of warranty claims that is under construction now.

Published exercises.

Complete, working applications on topics that have nothing to do with industry. I built them to practise.

Statistics and attractiveness of Italian municipalities

Radar Comune

For every Italian municipality it brings together data from different public sources on population, income, the property market, jobs, crime and air quality, and places each value against the rest of Italy.

Beyond the information itself, which I find interesting, this project was a way to practise building analyses on external, heterogeneous data: collecting it, making it comparable, combining it in a single cloud database and querying it quickly through a simple, light interface. It is the same work a company needs when quality, production and service data sit in different systems.

Personal finance calculators

Alongside it, a few personal finance calculators. They are not new in any absolute sense, but on average they are more complete and more customisable than the ones you find on the web, and I have checked them against the tax rules in force on many test cases.

ToolStatus
Net / gross salary calculatorFrom gross annual salary to take-home pay and back, with Italy's 2026 tax rules.Published
Pension calculatorFrom gross to net pension: Italian income tax, local surcharges, deductions.Published
Flat-rate regime calculatorSubstitute tax and contributions under Italy's flat-rate regime for the self-employed.Published

All calculations run in your browser: the data you enter never leaves your device. Radar Comune makes a single external request, for the map tiles. The tools themselves are in Italian, because they apply Italian rules and Italian data.

Tools of the trade.

These are the tools I would have needed over the years and never found in the right form, meaning small, close to the process and usable directly by the people doing the work. The first one is under construction; the others, for now, are ideas.

ToolStatus
Warranty claims analysisField claims read on two axes, production date and repair date, to tell whether a defect showing up today is still being built in or has already been corrected. It will run on synthetic data, declared as such.In progress
Non-conformity managementReported from the shop floor in a few seconds, with a photo attached, routed to the right function, and with its status always visible.Idea
Knowledge for technical serviceSolutions already found, searchable in plain language by the technician working on the machine, from a phone as well and without a network connection.Idea
Audit toolsDigital process and product checklists, with photo evidence and action plans that stay tracked after the closing meeting.Idea
Operational dashboardsA few indicators, updated automatically and readable in thirty seconds by a director and in ten by a shop-floor supervisor.Idea
Decision supportActions ranked by impact, cost and recurrence, with the data available when the decision is taken and not a month later.Idea
Your ideaIf you have in mind a tool that would make your work simpler and that doesn't exist, I'd like to hear about it: it's the kind of conversation I'm looking for. Write to me.To be defined

The ideas are not finished projects or available tools.
