Professional profile:
Temperature and humidity soil sensors for agricultural research: C++ embedded development for microcontrollers and IoT devices with PCB design for external use, with a web dashboard to monitor the data and manage the devices remotely. LORAWAN and RS485 technologies.
School teaching for the social-cultural impact of AI and the technical aspects of neural networks. Part of the PNRR Italian minister of culture project, I had been also teaching STEM technologies (such as Arduino, 3D printing, coding) to both high school students and teachers.
Main languages used:
- C++ (optimized for microcontrollers)
- Python
Other side technologies/skills include:
- Linux embedded systems (Raspberry Pis integrations)
- Hardware electronics, soldering
- Multiple hardware toolboxes and software ones
During my stay at HABITS I acquired the knowledge to bridge technologies, hacking various appliances and use them inside industrial design products prototypes. These bridges involve programming microcontrollers to create custom lighting effects or handling sensors with the various comm protocols such as I2C, I2S, SERIAL, SPI, RS485
- PlayJuggling (4 years): leader in the field of gymnastic/circus equipment.
- YoungDoIt (1 year): the youth center in the city of Arese.
Various range of works using social technologies to promote these companies.
Bachelor Degree in Computer Science For Fhe New Media Communications, with a thesis on a capacitive 2-axis MIDI instrument "A multi-touch control surface implemented as a MIDI controller", despite graduating in New Media Communication, I wanted to make a formal bridge with a passion of mine (music) by writing a thesis in collaboration with the LIM (Milano Statal University's Music Informatics Laboratory).
Meanwhile studying for University I've done various freelance work on social media communication and event organizing.
Main languages used:
- Python
- VueJS / JS
One year contract (2019) with MBE as an IT Assistant, where I was put to do data entry, bridging data manually through different platforms. I then started to automate these processes using Python and APIs to automatically take data from servers and DBs, rearrange and correct them, and send them back to the other platforms. Through this experience I learnt how much I love to make processes much more efficient. During the year at MBE I became proficient in scripting with Python and PowerShell/Bash scripting to automate data copying between different web platforms using different APIs.
- HTML / CSS / Tailwind CSS / jQuery / JS: my website is made with these technologies.
- 3D printing (and modelling with Blender/OnShape), laser cutting
- Version controlling: Git / GitHub – I'm used to work in a team using Git. My Github Profile
- Adobe Suite: Illustrator / Premiere / Photoshop / Lightroom – In 2024 I've been professionally editing one video a month of a Worldwide Juggling News series on YouTube.
- Notion / Obsidian: I use these services all the time to manage documents and project documentation.
- Audio-visuals: Ableton Live / TouchDesigner – I've been using these softwares for years.
To sum up:
I am deeply interested in developing efficient tools that bridge different technologies, and I strive to work in diverse environments to keep my inspiration fresh. I have a variety of passions that I nurture through my work; I love diving deep into new concepts and ideas to continuously expand my knowledge and skills. While I may not be a vertical specialist in just one area, I believe being multi-disciplinary enriches my ability to juggle various tasks and allows me to adapt quickly to different professional environments.
Education & qualifications
Degree in computer science for new media communications.
Grammar B2, Listening/comprehension C1.
Interests:
I have a deep interest in technology, jazz/fusion music, and the performing arts. These creative spaces allow me to experiment in different directions and recharge. While these passions may not become my primary career, I continue to nurture them as a way to connect with others. For several years, I have been volunteering at a youth center to organize cultural events; I find that volunteering for something I love is a powerful way to 'give back' to both the community and myself.
