I'm Vlady — UX engineer, modular synthesist, and generative artist based in Bologna, Italy.
I build things that sit at the intersection of code, sound, and visual systems. Some are tools other people use. Some are tools I built because the ones that existed weren't good enough. Some are just experiments that taught me something.
- 🎛️ Building Impulse — a node-based WebGPU visual engine for live AV performance
- ⛽ Running CostaMeno — Italian fuel price finder on open government data
- 🔧 Maintaining patcher.xyz — open-source patch manager and module database for Eurorack
- ✍️ Writing at polyterative.github.io
