Computer Engineering Student @ University of Perugia | Aspiring Software Engineer | Problem Solver

• 🎓 Currently studying Computer Engineering at the University of Perugia (UNIPG).
• 📍 Based in Gubbio, Italy.
• 💡 Passionate about algorithms, data structures, and building efficient software solutions.
• ☕ Particularly interested in Java, backend development, software architecture, and writing code that is maintainable and easy to evolve.
• 🛠️ I enjoy working across abstraction levels: from lower-level programming for performance understanding to higher-level application logic and clean design.
• 💻 I built my own development environment, creating a highly customized, Lua-based Neovim configuration optimized for Java and C.
• 🤖 AI-Assisted Development: Proficient in leveraging AI coding assistants and LLMs to accelerate debugging, automate boilerplate generation, and rapidly prototype complex architectures without compromising code comprehension.
• 🌱 Currently deepening my knowledge of SQL, persistence patterns, and backend design through hands-on projects and open-source exploration.
• 🚀 Exploring the world of fellowships, open-source, and software engineering internships to bring my ideas to life.

I am currently focusing on:

• strengthening my Java backend foundations;
• improving my understanding of SQL and persistence-layer design;
• writing cleaner, safer, and more maintainable code;
• contributing to open-source projects in a structured way.

Here are some of the algorithmic and hands-on tools I've developed:

A custom 2D fighting game engine developed in Java using Graphics2D, themed after Dragon Ball Z.

• Tech Highlights: State machine architecture, collision detection, animation handling, and dynamic HUD systems.
• Why it matters: strengthened my experience in structuring non-trivial Java codebases, organizing reusable components, and managing complex application logic.

A low-level image processing tool written in C.

• Tech Highlights: Direct memory manipulation and efficient algorithmic transformations applied to visual data.
• View c-image-processor Repo

A signal processing project exploring audio manipulation.

• Tech Highlights: Leveraging MATLAB to analyze, filter, and modify digital audio signals.
• View matlab-audio-effects Repo

I'm especially interested in opportunities that let me:

• work on real-world Java codebases,
• improve reliability and maintainability through refactoring,
• learn from experienced maintainers,
• contribute meaningful engineering work to open-source communities.
