About Me

I’m a C++ software engineer with deep expertise in embedded systems, compiler development, quantum computing, and cryptography. I hold a Master’s in Computer Science from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, graduated 110/110 cum laude. My career spans HMI/CNC defense software, medical device firmware, LLVM compiler infrastructure, and quantum hardware backends.

Professional Experience

MBDA (via Brain Technologies) — C++ Software Engineer (current)

Real-time HMI/CNC software, embedded Linux, and cross-compilation pipelines for defense systems. Targeting i.MX8MP on Yocto-based environments.

Quantum Compiler Development: STAQ Backend Optimization

Thu, 20 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Quantum Compiler Development: IBM Backend Implementation

Implemented a complete IBM quantum computer backend within the STAQ compiler framework, enabling high-level quantum algorithms to run optimally on real quantum hardware with physical constraint awareness.

What It Does

The backend transforms high-level quantum circuits into hardware-specific instructions accounting for qubit connectivity, gate sets, and calibration parameters of IBM superconducting quantum processors. This includes circuit optimization, qubit mapping, and schedule-aware gate insertion.

FreshAirIoT: ESP32 Air Quality Monitoring

Wed, 26 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

FreshAirIoT: IoT Air Quality Monitoring System

FreshAirIoT is a comprehensive air quality monitoring solution built on ESP32/8266 microcontrollers, combining real-time sensor data collection with cloud connectivity and user-friendly dashboards.

What It Does

The system monitors environmental metrics (CO₂, PM2.5, temperature, humidity) from multiple sensor nodes and streams data via MQTT to a central aggregation point. Real-time alerts are sent through Telegram when thresholds are exceeded, and historical data is visualized through Node-RED dashboards.

VictoriaCinema Bot: Telegram Cinema Schedule Automation

Thu, 11 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

VictoriaCinema Bot: Automated Cinema Schedule Delivery

VictoriaCinema Bot is a Telegram bot that scrapes local cinema schedules, parses showtimes, and delivers them to users on-demand with intelligent error handling and caching strategies.

What It Does

Users query the bot with movie titles or theaters, and the bot scrapes cinema websites, extracts showtime data, formats it readably, and delivers results via Telegram. The bot handles network errors, website layout changes, and rate limiting gracefully while maintaining responsive user experience.

PyFind: Privacy-Preserving Device Tracking via Cryptography

Tue, 29 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000

PyFind: Privacy-Preserving Device Tracking

PyFind is a privacy-preserving device tracking system using elliptic curve cryptography to enable location sharing without exposing raw coordinates. Research publication: arXiv:2103.02282.

What It Does

Rather than sharing exact GPS coordinates, PyFind uses cryptographic commitments and zero-knowledge proofs to allow location-based applications (finding nearby friends, location services) while maintaining privacy. Users can prove they’re in a geographic region without revealing exact position.

LLVM MicroBlaze Backend: Compiler Infrastructure Development

Fri, 25 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000

LLVM MicroBlaze Backend: Complete Compiler Implementation

Developed a complete LLVM backend for the MicroBlaze soft-core processor architecture, enabling modern C++ and C code compilation targeting Xilinx embedded systems.

What It Does

The backend translates LLVM Intermediate Representation (IR) into optimal MicroBlaze machine code through three key phases: instruction selection (DAG matching), register allocation (graph coloring), and code emission. This enables compiling modern C++ applications for embedded FPGA-based systems.
