Italian ๐ฎ๐น Backend Software Engineer at CHECK24 in Munich ๐ฉ๐ช.
I work mainly on Java microservices with a strong focus on distributed systems, DDD, and event-driven architectures. I enjoy building small developer tools to make my (and others') work easier.
On the research side, I published 2 papers on Neural Networks applied to real-world systems, specifically AI-based misbehavior detection in vehicular platooning networks โ at IEEE WONS 2025 and on Elsevier Computer Communications Journal.
Outside work, I explore the intersection of AI and music production, building tools for mixing and audio processing. I also actively study agentic AI workflows, LLM security, and prompt optimization โ and I'm a heavy user of AI-augmented dev tools like Cursor.
Personal experiments and tools โ from backend utilities to audio tech.
- EndpointDeprecationAuditor: CLI tool to assess whether an API endpoint can be safely deprecated by correlating codebase usage and runtime log occurrence analysis. ๐
- VolumeBoost: VST3 plugin for volume boost โ exploring audio DSP and music production tooling. ๐ข
- Sphincs+Dart: Post-quantum cryptography library bound for use in Dart. ๐
- GDGBariBackend: FastAPI backend built in collaboration with GDG Bari for Google DevFest. ๐
Focused on Neural Networks and AI applied to real-world systems โ specifically misbehavior detection in vehicular/platooning networks, using Python for data analysis and NN inference embedded into C++ simulators.
