Siro Tonini.

— Profile

I build at the intersection of engineering and operations — turning hard technical work into things people can actually use.

Currently cofounding Hackyn, Zürich's 300-person hackathon, and building Campone — the future-proof, AI-native booking platform that's setting a new standard for the camping industry.
