✨ Chi sono in poche righe (ma piene di senso)

Docente d’inglese in una vita precedente (ma siamo sicuri???), con la testa tra le nuvole e i piedi ben piantati nelle Roadmap, oggi sono una Scrum Master che ama sperimentare, innovare e prendersi cura delle persone nei momenti di cambiamento.

La mia bussola? L’agilità come mindset, la visione di prodotto al posto della logica di progetto, e una fiducia incrollabile nel potere della giocosità come leva di trasformazione.

Amo tutto ciò che è didattica innovativa, inclusione, collaborazione e quel meraviglioso caos creativo che si accende quando i team trovano il proprio ritmo.

Mi definiscono sognatrice, io dico che sono semplicemente un’eterna bambina con la passione per le retrospettive ben fatte, le user story ben scritte, e i momenti in cui si ride insieme tra un daily e una review.

Non porto soluzioni, porto domande che aprono strade.

Joe Monastiero is the founder and CEO of visualAI, which builds discoverGPT, a 360 degree AI commerce discovery developer platform with a REST API and 29 MCP tools supporting the deployment of trimodal search, virtual try-on and image composition, data cleaning and enrichment and the generation of universal agentic catalog feeds.

He has spent 25 years on the commercial side of technology companies. He co-founded Intervideo, which IPO'd on NASDAQ as IVII and was later acquired by Corel, and co-founded appMobi, acquired by Intel. From 2013 to 2020 he built nFlate/SiBi, one of the first multimodal visual search marketplaces for fashion, with discovery by photo, screenshot, color and text. It was roughly a decade early. visualAI is the version of that thesis with the model maturity and data plane to actually ship, and is the subject of a 34-claim pending patent.

The unusual part is that this time he wrote it. Trained as a chemical engineer and never employed as a software engineer, he built visualAI's production stack himself alongside Claude over 16 months: an AI search and retrieval engine deployed on GCP, layer on Google Vertex AI, scheduled pipelines on Cloud Run, a public REST API and an MCP server.

He speaks on commerce discovery architecture, multimodal retrieval, solo entrepreneurship, and AI-native development best practices.
