I build things at the intersection of software and hardware, from Edge AI systems to IoT controllers to parallel GPU algorithms. I'm a firm believer that you don't truly 'own' a system until you've understood exactly how it works under the hood.

From Corbola to...

I'm a Computer Engineering student at the University of Bologna (Alma Mater Studiorum), currently pursuing my Master's Degree after graduating, but I'm originally from Corbola, a small quiet town (really?) in the Rovigo province (Veneto).

I love digging into how things actually work and I define myself as a practical person. My journey has taken me from designing real-time safety systems for industrial robots to optimizing parallel algorithms on GPUs.

When I'm not staring at a terminal, I'm likely eating sushi 🍣, or drawing caricatures or overthinking a graphic design layout 🖱️.
I believe knowledge is worthless if it's not shared.

Things I've built.

Selected work from university courses, internships, and personal curiosity.
