Who I am
At the age of 10, I became enamored with the world of computing, immediately delving into learning about how computers function.
Today, I am a Master's student in Computer Science at the University of Padua (a name I do not entirely share because, if anything, it is informatics that constitutes a science, not computers). I am currently specializing in artificial intelligence, following three years of study in Udine, where I focused on Internet of Things, Big Data, & Web.
I have a profound passion for informatics and robotics. During my high school years, I participated in robotics competitions, advancing to the national phases. Additionally, I am involved in soccer, where I serve as a referee.
Relevant projects
Robots for Environmental Exploration
2022
Designed and implemented a robot for autonomous navigation in unfamiliar environments. The robot maps its surroundings using a specialized laser sensor, estimates its position through various algorithms, and independently reaches specific points of interest. Also developed a control panel to monitor the robot's movements and allows human intervention via remote control in case of critical errors.
Lips Reading
2023
Using the MIRACL-VC1 dataset and the Keras library, I tackled the main problem by implementing a convolutional neural network (CNN) model. The CNN was trained to automatically extract salient features from video frames, leveraging its ability to learn complex visual patterns. Subsequently, I employed a recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture to process the features extracted from the CNN and predict words or phrases from the input video. Additionally, I applied data augmentation techniques to increase the variability of the training samples, thereby improving the model's performance and reducing the risk of overfitting.
Image Denoising
2024
This project explores various deep learning techniques for noise reduction in medical images. It utilizes Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Autoencoders to enhance image clarity and improve diagnostic accuracy.
Ardu Garden
Working on
This project implements a hydroponic garden system controlled via Arduino, entirely 3D-printed, which manages the irrigation pump and plant lighting. The system features a web interface for control and monitoring functionalities.
Flippy Bird
2024
FlippyBird is a fun game inspired by Flappy Bird, created for a wedding celebration. Built with Expo and React Native, it runs on iOS, Android, and web browsers. The game features online scoring with teams, customizable sprites, and real-time database integration using Firebase Realtime Database.
Midge
2018
A 2D online multiplayer game developed in Node.js. Players control a square character (the 'mosquito') that rotates based on mouse movement and moves within the map using the keyboard keys. Each mosquito has a stinger (a white triangle) in the upper-left corner, and the objective is to sting opponents on their exposed areas while avoiding being stung by enemy stingers.
Websites
Officina Camper 2000
2017
Officina Camper 2000 specializes in camper van repair and conversion services. Upon the request of the client, I embarked on the task of redesigning and redeveloping their website from scratch, drawing inspiration from their previous site.
