I'm an Automation Engineering MSc student at Politecnico di Bari, focused on model-based design, real-time control systems, Hardware-in-the-Loop testing and experimental validation.

My technical work combines dynamic system modelling, embedded control, real-time testing, optimization and data-driven methods for engineering applications.

Alongside engineering projects, I also develop software applications and educational tools, including management-oriented applications and interactive tools for music learning.

• Model-Based Design and dynamic system modelling
• Real-time control and Hardware-in-the-Loop testing
• Embedded systems with STM32 and ESP32
• System identification, PID/LQI control and optimization
• MATLAB/Simulink, C/C++ and Python
• Machine learning for time series and engineering applications
• Optimization, MILP and metaheuristic algorithms for engineering problems
• Software applications and educational tools

• STM32 Two-Tank Control System
  Embedded control project for a two-tank water level system using VL53L0X sensors, PWM pump actuation and PID/LQI controllers.

• STM32 Katana Joint Control
  STM32-based joint-control project for a Neuronics Katana manipulator, including PID control, encoder handling, hardware troubleshooting and system identification.

• Dutch TTF Gas Price Prediction
  Machine learning project for Dutch TTF gas price forecasting using time series, news data, tweet embeddings, BERT, GRU and BiLSTM models.

• RF System Identification - R&S Monitor
  System identification project for a Rohde & Schwarz radio communication service monitor using linear, nonlinear and neural-network-based models.

• Vertical Warehouse Optimization
  MATLAB optimization project for vertical warehouse tray allocation, focused on reducing wasted space and maximizing fill ratio.

• UAV Routing with Robust MILP
  Multi-objective UAV routing optimization under uncertainty using MILP formulation and robust optimization concepts.

• Evacuation Parallel PSO SimEvents
  Dynamic building evacuation optimization using MATLAB, SimEvents and Parallel Particle Swarm Optimization.

• Patch Antenna PSO Optimization
  Patch antenna miniaturization project using Particle Swarm Optimization with MATLAB and CST Studio Suite.

• Control Systems Lab
  Laboratory repository for smaller experiments, simulations and technical notes related to PID control, LQI control, state-space modelling, nonlinear systems, observers and system identification.

Alongside my engineering projects, I also design and deploy lightweight web applications for real users, especially in educational and operational contexts.

These projects complement my core engineering portfolio by showing the ability to turn real user needs into usable, deployed software tools.

• Teachers Calendar Manager
• Music Notes Trainer
• Croce Ritmica

The Teachers Calendar Manager is the most complete project in this section: it includes authentication, role-based access, scheduling constraints, private runtime storage and PDF export for real operational use.

• Software Applications Lab
  Workspace for management-oriented software applications, workflow tools, scheduling utilities and application prototypes.

• Music Education Tools
  Collection of interactive web tools and educational games for music theory, solfeggio and rhythm training.

I'm currently building a GitHub portfolio focused on engineering projects in control systems, embedded platforms, real-time testing, optimization and machine learning.

The goal is to document each project with clear architecture, methodology, reproducible code and technical results.
