MSc in Computer Engineering @ University of Padua · 110/110 with honors
I recently graduated with an MSc in Computer Engineering (AI & Robotics) from the University of Padua with 110/110 with honors (GPA 29.75/30). During an exchange at ETH Zürich, I wrote my thesis at Rycolab, where I studied the expressiveness of transformer models through formal language theory.
Right now I’m doing some independent research in NLP and formal language theory, while working full-time as a software engineer in Italy. Lately I’ve also been exploring agentic coding and AI-assisted development workflows — some of the “vibe-coded” projects from these experiments might end up here.
Outside of work I’m passionate about reggae sound systems, cooking, and digging for new music. Together with a friend, I developed the GUI for the Sage control software, used to configure Sage DSP preamps from a computer. Lately I’ve been getting into DSP and experimenting with building a digital reverb and delay.
