About Me

I'm a Robotics Software Engineer with a focus on Autonomous Driving currently working at Yape s.r.l. I received my Bachelor Degree in Mechanical Engineering from University of Genova and the Master Degree in Robotics and Automation Engineering from University of Pisa, in 2015 and 2018, respectively. After graduation, I started a collaboration as Research Fellow at Research Center “E.Piaggio” of the University of Pisa, where I joined Roboteam-Italia, one of the teams of Roborace, an autonomous full scale electric racing car competition. I joined Proxima Robotics s.r.l. in 2020, where I was responsible for developing planning and control algorithms for mobile robots.
