ABOUT
I'm an aspiring student with the goal of standing out in computer science, keen to build creative solutions regardless of unique constraints. My favorite part of the work lies in efficiency and user interaction; I aim to create performant yet elegant systems for evolving problems.
Currently, I'm a Computer Science bachelor's student at Ca' Foscari University of Venice. Most of my studies focus on improving my skills in computer science and software engineering.
My software development experience spans remarkably diverse environments, from the focused autonomy of working remotely at the top of the Alps to the collaborative and structured setting of a leading electronics design company. This contrast has equipped me with a versatile skill set and the ability to thrive in any work culture.
