PROJECTS

Selftest_QRNG

Professional

Self-testing Quantum Random Number Generator. High-workload project where data had to be passed to an embedded device and retrieve from it at rates around 200 Mbps. I was in charge of the whole software part, from hardware integration to kernel-space modules and user-space applications development.

HARE

Professional

C framework that allows communication between actors in a publisher & subscriber architecture. This framework had to handle considerable amount of incoming data (up to 40 Gbps). Also had to put all the hardware in place for a distributed acquisition of signals, synchronized with sub-nanosecond accuracy.

SmartTank

Professional

An embedded system for monitoring the health of an oxygen tank on a automotive vehicle. I was in charge of the whole software part, from hardware integration to kernel-space modules and user-space applications development.

Stereo Personal

Flutter library for playing music from a file.

Goodges Personal

iOS extension for jailbroken devices. Radically changes the way notification badges are displayed on the homescreen.
