🌍 Bregenz, Austria · Originally from Italy · Available for relocation
I'm a robotics engineer specializing in the full-stack development of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and collaborative robot arms — from sensor drivers and embedded software to high-level ROS architectures and real-world hardware validation.
Originally from Italy, I studied Computer Engineering at the University of Pavia (BSc + MSc), before moving to Austria to join Subdron GmbH in Bregenz, where I currently develop and maintain the software stack of an AUV.
My work sits at the intersection of hardware and software: writing modular ROS pipelines, validating systems in Gazebo simulation, and deploying them in actual underwater environments with the Sparus2 AUV.
End-to-end development of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle at Subdron GmbH — from sensor driver integration and modular ROS architecture, to validation in Gazebo and real-world underwater missions with the Sparus2.
Design and implementation of an A*-based collision avoidance and path-planning system. Validated in CoppeliaSim, then deployed on a Universal Robots UR5 arm for real industrial use. Master's thesis at Atom S.p.A.
Implementation of a parallelized A* pathfinding algorithm during the Master's degree, demonstrating performance optimization through concurrent computation and thread synchronization strategies.
Designed and built a motion-sensing controller for a foosball table using Arduino — inspired by the Nintendo Wii remote — integrating IMU sensors and wireless communication. Bachelor's thesis project.
