I am a passionate developer who loves working with enthusiastic people on projects that matter. After receiving a master's degree in Software Engineering, I started working as a contract researcher at the University of Bergamo. My work focuses on computer security, mostly investigating the integration of security features in (mobile|cloud|database) systems. My non-work interests range widely, from programming languages to machine learning. I love to solve problems, learn new things and discuss with interesting people.
