Raffaele Zarrelli
He builds AI systems that enter a company’s processes and stay there. He founded Yempik in Turin in 2025: agents, automations and company brains taken to production, with the code owned by the client.

Raffaele designs the architecture of the systems Yempik delivers and writes part of them. He works where AI stops being a demo: the company’s data, the rules on who can see what, the checks before an output enters a real process.
He writes for people who decide, not for people who code. His pieces start from a management problem (which process to automate, how to measure the return, who owns company knowledge) and end with a concrete step, with sources in the text.
