January 2014 - Present Career History
Software Engineer @ Dog Hunter AG
Skilled Python programmer, my tasks mainly concern the package maintaning of the Linino Distro
Linino OS Distro for the Dog Hunter boards. In addition to this, I am also taking care of perfecting
and creating UNIX shell scripts to improve the overall tasks of the embedded OS itself.
I have contextually learnt a lot cross-compiling skills under Linux-based OSes regarding the MIPS
big endian and ARM cpu architectures by using the corresponding toolchains. For this reason, I
have written a couple of bash scripts setting all the necessary environment variables to expedite the
overall process.

management within the network itself.
April 2009 - Present
Electronics Engineering, ICT Development, GNU Radio, Communication Systems
The goal of my thesis research was to build an open-source tool, useful for the student, for evaluating
the Bit Error Rates of the digital modulations (in real-time also) over the wired (AWGN) and the
wireless channels both modeled in a mathematical way combining Python with the GNU Radio
platform. Altough I nished my thesis research a long time ago, I still actively participate in the
GNU Radio community.

Activities Design and implementation of a dual system consisting of a Voltage/Frequency converter and a
Frequency/Voltage converter.
Design and implementation of a short-range, low-cost TX/RX Radio System operating in the
RF spectrum.
Design of a Java-based client/server application involving a SQL database, threads and GUIs.
The project consisted in a phonebook, with dierent blank spaces to ll in the main GUI(Name,
address, phone number and so on), interfacing with a SQL database running on the server side.
The client was able to recall data from the database and to delete stored data as well through
SQL queries nested in the java code as simple strings. Being multi-threaded, the user was also
able to launch dierent instances of the same application. The entire work was then reverse-
engineered and described in every single detail with an UML ow graph as required from my
teacher.
Tweaking of the mozillapackager.py script, part of the Ubuntuzilla Project, to retrieve the
latest versions(localized in dierent languages) of the Mozilla Foundation software(i.e. Firefox,
Thunderbird and Seamonkey). After being downloaded, the binary les are packaged in the
*.deb le format so that a debian-based Linux distribution user is able to install/uninstall the
application in a very simple way.
Deploying open-source code on the Internet in my spare time.
Full availability to work on site and to move abroad as well. Other
