👨‍💻 About Me

I'm a Computer Science Student (22yo Male) at the University of Brescia (UNIBS), graduating in July 2026. More than just writing code, I am driven by a deep curiosity to explore how things work under the hood—whether it's breaking down a complex software architecture, tweaking a local server setup, experimenting with the perfect recipe in the kitchen, or engineering a physical DIY project like building an above-ground pool.

I love building structured, clean, and interconnected systems. My main focus and hands-on projects cover:

  • 💳 Applications & Infrastructure: Developing secure, end-to-end encrypted applications and using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to automate cloud deployments.
  • 🚗 V2X & Systems Logic: Simulating vehicle networks, analyzing protocols, and testing security rules for cooperative driving systems.
  • 🏠 Homelab & DIY Automation: Designing containerized self-hosted setups, managing local network architecture, and bringing structural automation into everyday life.

🛠 Tech Stack

💻 Languages & Core

🔧 Tools, Cloud & Frameworks

Note: I also use PlantUML for architectural blueprints and system data modeling.


🚀 Featured Projects

💳 PileUp

A full-stack personal finance application built to run seamlessly on cloud services or completely self-hosted on a private home-server.

  • Live Demo: At financeappfrontend.web.app (currently invite-only for a limited number of users).
  • Security: Implemented End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) segmented by data zones to fully secure sensitive financial transactions and user privacy.
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Automated full service provisioning using Terraform on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Neon (Serverless PostgreSQL).
  • CI/CD & DevOps: Configured GitHub Actions pipelines to automate application containerization via Docker, ensuring clean version control and seamless package delivery for home-servers.

Status: Active Development


Development and evaluation of an extension for a Misbehavior Detection System (MDS) focused on detecting DataReplay attacks within vehicle platooning configurations.

  • Core Tech: C++, Python, OMNeT++, SUMO, Veins.
  • Key Focus: Simulating vehicle networks to detect communication anomalies and block simulated cyber-attacks in real time.

Status: Active Research (BSc Thesis)
