About me
I am a Computer Science student at the University of Pisa, Italy. I am a member of the ZenHack and about:blankets CTF teams. I am interested in coding, cybersecurity, electronics, music, and every combination of them.
I am currently working as a freelance cybersecurity consultant and developer.
I mainly play guitar and saxophone, but also bass and synths and everything I can put my hands on. I make music by myself and with my band :Papille Gustative.

Self-teaching
Before enrollin in university, excluding some rare opportunities, I've always studied
programming and computer science as a self-taught person. This led to good problem solving
skills when facing different issues. I still keep learning by myself most of the stuff I'm
passionate about.
2013-2019
Liceo Scientifico G.D. Cassini
I've attended a standard scientific high school in Genoa, while at the same time I was
spending my free time fiddling around writing code.

My works
YAAV - Yet Another Algorithm Visualizer
(In progress) My own take at an algorithm visualizer, built with collaboration and expansion
in mind. Aiming not only at sorting and graph algorithms, but also computer vision, search,
games and many others.
Analog Electronics
While it's not open source (not yet anyway), I like to study and fiddle with analog
circuits, especially related to audio signal chains and effetcs, such as guitar pedals. I
"design", plan, solder and build everything, from the PCB to the enclosure. I'm not always
sure what I'm doing, though.
Web platforms
I develop web platform for various scopes, such as school events (with associated bookings)
and school merchandise (t-shirts and sweaters orders).
:Papille Gustative
My musical interests and hackiness come together when I manage every technical aspect of my
band. Other than the website, I'm planning MIDI and DMX softwares to controls our live
shows.
Music
After years of playing musical instruments, recently I've decided to start composing,
arranging and producing my personal stuff. I also do non-critical mixing and mastering for
my band.
