This program offers me a comprehensive education that delves deep into the latest software engineering techniques and data engineering principles. The curriculum is structured around four modules – Software Engineering, Data Engineering, Electives, and Master's Thesis – providing me with invaluable insights into software design, quality assurance, data modeling, and decision support.

Bachelor in Informatics

2020 - 2023

Università della Svizzera Italiana, Lugano, CH
GPA: 9.21/10

I completed my Bachelor's in Computer Science at USI, where I explored a diverse curriculum. My favorite courses included "Systems Programming," "Computer Graphics," and "Image and Video Processing," which deepened my expertise in these areas. I excelled in my Bachelor Project (equivalent to a Thesis), earning a perfect score, highlighting my dedication and systematic problem-solving skills. My time at USI equipped me with a strong foundation and practical experience, preparing me for a successful journey in the field of computer science.

Professional Experience

UROP

Summer 2023

Internship at Università della Svizzera Italiana, Lugano, CH

UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program) is an internship offered to the top five students that apply and allows you to work with a research group of your choice.

  • Worked under the tutelage of Prof. Didyk and PhD student Jorge Condor
  • Brought my expertise to a project that aims to do HDR reconstruction using Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) in combination with event cameras
  • Extended a pre-existing event camera simulator to make it compute the data wanted by my supervisors in order to generate synthetic data to train the NeRFs
  • Learned how to use Unreal Engine 5 to create short sequences of a camera flying around a scene
  • It was very instructive since neither of my supervisors knew the material I had to work on, so I had to learn how to read code and understand it deeply in order to complete the task required of me

Teacher assistant

2022 - present

Part-time job at Università della Svizzera Italiana, Lugano, CH

Helped teachers with grading assignments and exams. Tried to create a meaningful connection with students that needed my help to make them succeed in completing their course.
