About
Since 2022, I’ve been studying Computer Science at the University of Udine and exploring the intersection of software engineering, systems design, and cybersecurity. As part of MadrHacks, I’ve achieved top global CTF rankings (1st in Italy, 37th worldwide) while mentoring students and building projects spanning distributed systems, databases, and machine learning. My focus is on scalable architectures, algorithms, and backend systems that combine technical precision with real-world impact.

I love to learn-by-doing, that's why I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites to complex applications. Here are a few of my favourites.

Sider - My In-Memory, Key-Value Store
Built an event-driven TCP server using non-blocking I/O to support thousands of concurrent clients with zero threading overhead. Designed sorted sets with O(log n) rank queries and intrusive hash tables for memory efficiency. Explored distributed caching patterns and lock-free data structures to simulate production-grade performance.

Database Project
Accomplished complex data modelling by implementing a normalised relational schema with constraint validation, which led to the elimination of data redundancy across 8 interconnected entities. Designed query optimisation by implementing indexing strategies and normalised table structures. Performed X+ Code Reviews in a O(10k) LOC code base.
I like building things
During my time in university, I attended 10+ hackathons. People from around the country would come together and build incredible things in a few days. days. It was eye-opening to see the endless possibilities brought to life by a group of motivated and passionate individuals.
