About Alex:

Alessandro -Alex for shorts and ease- Pedori.

He believes that "tell me about yourself and your bio" is the fastest route to emptying your mind, potentially enlightenment.

He has been a lead technologist specializing in AI, a movement teacher, organized meditation retreats, taught workshops.

He also offers IFS-based sessions, focusing either in life satisfaction, or deeper blockages.

He is not sure what to do as a grown up, but this sounds good so far.
