Education and work experience
I have a degree in electronic engineering (obtained at Politecnico di Milano with a score of 97/100.)
I started working in the field of robotics for space applications on projects by the European Space Agency and the Italian one.
I then moved to Ireland (Dublin) where I worked as a senior software engineer for a hi-tech company that specializes in manufacturing control & supervision equipment (RTU, SCADA systems, etc.) for the utilities (e.g. in the energy sector, the gas sector, etc.).
On my return to Italy I was first project leader and then product development manager at the Italian branch of a multinational company in the field of control & protection devices for electric grids.
After this work experience, I co-founded a company that specialized in developing and prototyping microprocessor-based devices (I was directly involved in the development and the certification of such devices at appointed labs.)
I now work as a senior consultant and co-operate with various companies in the implementation of firmware & software for control & automation (in some cases I have also provided turn-key devices based on my clients' specs.)
