I'm Valerio. I build software products, AI systems, and web-extraction infrastructure. I started by taking systems apart to see how they worked, then started shipping the tools I wanted and couldn't find.
Most of my work sits around extraction, anti-bot, and AI. webclaw is a web-extraction toolkit for LLMs: a Rust core with a CLI, REST API, and MCP server that turns messy sites into clean markdown and structured data, with anti-bot handling built in. Akari runs the same idea at higher stakes, as ticketing infrastructure serving hundreds of brokers.
Stik is smaller: a local-first capture app for macOS, where one shortcut opens a post-it and gets out of the way.
I write about how this gets made, including the parts that broke first. The newsletter is the best place to follow along.
