MY STORY · ABOUT ME

Who is
Fabrizio Mazzei?

AI Solutions Architect, author, speaker and educator.

Three countries, ten years in marketing, a turn toward code.
I'll tell you how I got here and what I do today on stage, in the classroom and in front of an editor.

Start from the beginning
01
INTERNATIONAL PATH
← from abroad to the world

Brussels, London and back

It all started at the University of Bari with AIESEC: two years as Vice President, two teams of fifteen people, forty international internships organized. I worked in English every day and met people from half the world. That is where I picked up the abroad habit, and realized that feeling like a foreigner did not bother me. I actually liked it.

Brussels was the first confirmation: Erasmus in a city where at a single aperitif you switch from Italian to French to English without noticing. Then London, from 2016: first Google, then Dentsu, managing PPC campaigns across thirteen countries with budgets of 250,000 pounds a month. That is where my digital marketing journey began.

I came back to Italy with three languages and a network of colleagues spread across four continents. I chose Bari, skipping Milan and Rome: I wanted to prove you can build serious things from home too.

TECHNICAL PRAGMATISM

AI is not magic. It is engineering.

After ten years in digital marketing, I understood one thing: manual execution is a limit. Today I do not just define strategies, I also build the software that executes them.

I embraced AI early, from the start of 2022: as soon as it went mainstream, curiosity pushed me to test and try everything without waiting. That same curiosity still connects people, tools and data.

My edge?
I look at a manual process and already see the architecture that will replace it.

I believe in Technical Pragmatism: AI is not magic, it is engineering. If it does not solve a problem or free up time, it is just hype.

WHAT I DO

Digital ecosystems and autonomous agents.

I design and build digital ecosystems in production: full-stack Next.js applications, RAG systems that pull the right knowledge at the right moment, agents that orchestrate different models (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, Perplexity) choosing which to use based on task and cost. Event-driven automations that talk to CRMs, email, calendars and Telegram without human supervision.

MY MANTRA, IN ONE LINE

Solo AI leveling, and still leveling up.

No finish lines, only the next thing to learn.That is what defines me: I keep leveling up, every day.No finish lines, only the next thing to learn. That is what defines me: I keep leveling up, every day.

AI does not replace leaders.
It exposes them.

SPEAKER & TRAINER
← between stage and classroom

I bring AI where it matters: to people.

Sapienza University of Rome · Economics and Business Management

Conferences, universities, companies, training platforms. The audience changes, the method does not: live demos instead of slides, real cases instead of predictions, and one principle only. If you do not leave with something you can use Monday morning, I failed.

I have been a guest lecturer at universities, keynote speaker at national conferences, I teach on e-learning platforms and I have designed and run hands-on workshops to turn AI from curiosity into an everyday work tool.

05
THE BOOK

A practical manual, zero jargon.

I wrote Work Smarter with Artificial Intelligence after noticing something: AI books were either too theoretical or showcases for consultants. The manual I wished I had when I started was missing. So I rolled up my sleeves and wrote it.

430 pages, 12 chapters, 200+ tested prompts: each chapter takes a real work problem (email, meetings, research, data analysis, presentations, automations) and walks you step by step from manual solutions to systems that run on their own. Zero technical jargon, only practical things you can use the very next day.

Published on Amazon, in paperback and Kindle. With the book you also get access to a private digital area with interactive modules, copy-ready prompts and a secret chapter to unlock.

OFF-WORK

What is beyond the code?

Lola, Fabrizio Mazzei's Bichon Frise

Lola

She decides when it is break time: a sweet Bichon Frise who is always hungry.

Cooking

I experiment a lot, but my untouchable algorithm is still nonna's Bari-style focaccia.

Rock

Pink Floyd, Queen, AC/DC, Muse, Bon Jovi, The Clash, The Who. Pure energy that helps me get into focus when I need to design for hours.

Travel

I love travel, but strictly organized in Excel. I plan every last detail.

Sport

Padel: I cannot help it, my natural fix. At least twice a week.

Reading

From Dan Brown to Glenn Cooper, through psychology and communication, all the way to biographies.

thanks for making it all the way here!
