Walter Franchetti
I've been coding since I was a kid. I studied communication design at Politecnico di Milano, and since then I've always had one foot in design and one in code. In recent years my focus has shifted: I study how artificial intelligence can make a difference for people with different cognitive patterns. We're all different, each in our own way. My personal story has made that even clearer.
Why
I believe that through innovation there is great potential for a significant improvement in quality of life. I use technological tools to try to create a positive impact on people's lives.
Off the clock
When I get home, I dedicate myself to my wife and our Lisa. I enjoy reading, cooking, listening to music and travelling. I love the mountains, but I don't mind the sea either. What matters is being in contact with nature.
Writing
- Lisa and ADNP syndrome From the first embrace I embraced everything about her — including a rare diagnosis that changed the way I see the world
- Cognitive overload, mental energy, and AI AI doesn't give us too little to do — it gives us too much to evaluate. From the cognitive inflation paradox to practical strategies for code agents
- Three fonts to say who I am: the story of the w@lter logo How a name, an at sign, and three typefaces became a logo — and why every detail, from fonts to colors, is a legibility choice.
- HTTP is for humans, MCP is for agents A brief exploration of what MCPs are, why they exist, and how they could change the way we talk to our systems
- How I found my lost AirPods thanks to Apple's 'Find My' network Apple's 'Find My' network helped me recover my lost AirPods. What a brilliant use of technology!
