    content: |-
      My academic journey began at the Polytechnic of Turin, where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering. Along these three years, I had the opportunity to participate to the Cyberchallenge Project, which introduced me to the world of Cybersecurity. I fell in love with binary challenges and explored the inner details of the memory and its associated vulnerabilities. This experience inspired me to pursue a Master's Degree with a specialization in Cybersecurity.

      In the first year of my Master's program, I took a course on System and Devices Programming, which deepened my interest in Operating Systems and solidified my desire to become an expert in this field. I was then awarded an Erasmus Scholarship, allowing me to pursue a Double Degree at Eurecom, located in the heart of Sophia Antipolis (France), also known as Europe's Silicon Valley.

      After studying for one year in Turin and another year at Sophia Antipolis, I completed the Double Degree program with a six months internship at Amadeus S.A.S. The company is one of the top global software providers and a major Global Distribution System (GDS) for the travel and tourism industries. During my internship, I worked on integrating a Fuzzer into their C++ core software stack.

      In April 2024, I graduated magna cum laude from the Polytechnic of Turin.

      Since then, I have been dedicating time to a mentorship program on the Linux kernel (as a mentee) and am actively seeking job opportunities.

          This academic project focused on developing a distributed database system with fault-tolerant shards. The data
          is partitioned across multiple shards, each capable of automatic self-restoration in case of failures.
          The system is dynamic, allowing for the addition of new nodes at runtime, which triggers the redistribution of
          data to accommodate the updated configuration.
