I acquired a bachelor's degree in computer engineering at the Polytechnic University of Milan, and now I am completing a double master's degree in computer engineering. With EIT Digital, an organization co-founded by the European Union, I am specializing in Data Science, with a minor in Innovation & Entrepreneurship, between the Polytechnic University of Milan and the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid.

My Academic Path



My Portfolio

Natural Language Processing
This project involved the use of a dataset of recipes to apply various Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, from the easiest to the most advanced. We performed different preprocessing techniques, clustering, classifincation, and even implemented a simple chatbot exploiting different models, including LLMs, text-to-image, text-to-speech and speech-to-text.

AI Study
AI Study is a web application designed to revolutionize learning by combining powerful AI tools and proven cognitive tactics. Its objective is to ensure that the knowledge you acquire sticks with you long after exams are over, fostering durable and usable understanding. The demo is developed in Python, all in a single .ipynb file, exploiting open-source models from Hugging Face and gradio library for the UI.

Neural Network & Deep Learning
Project is focused on creating deep neural networks for image classification of healthy and unhealthy leaves and time series forecasting.

Algorithms and Data Structures
It involves the implementation of an efficient algorithm for an elaborated minimum distance problem, capable of respecting time and space complexity constraints.

Software Engineering
This project involves the development of a web application for the board game My Shelfie. It is implemented in Java, using the MVC architecture, exploiting the Socket and RMI architectures for the network infrastucture. It has some advanced features such as the capability of managing multiple games at the same time, and the disconnection resilience.

Hand tracking with Arduino
Implementation of a hand tracking system using Arduino and Python able to recognise through webcam how many fingers are raised and turn on the same amount of LEDs.

Hardware Design
Implementation of a hardware component using VHDL language.
My Certifications

Communication & Argumentation
A course rooted in rhetoric and argumentation, teaching how to be clear and persuasive in the domain of engineering studies.

TOEIC
English certificate with an evaluation of 945/990, equivalent to C1 level, demonstrating proficiency in listening and reading comprehension.

Peer to Peer Tutoring
Certification gained through the Peer to Peer Tutoring program, which involved tutoring students in various subjects in Politecnico di Milano.

Start Up 101
Course regarding the basics of starting a business, covering topics such as business models, market analysis, and financial planning.

AVEVA EcoTech Emerge
A challenge promoted by AVEVA, focused on developing an idea capable of joining AI and sustainability. In this context we developed an idea for a Flood Predicition System, capable of aggregate data from different sources to predict floods in a given area.

Free Tensorflow Keras Bootcamp
A free bootcamp focused on TensorFlow and Keras, covering the basics of deep learning and neural networks for computer vision tasks.
