Welcome!

I’m a 28-year-old Control Systems Engineer with a deep background in control theory, robotics, computer science, and software development.
Curiosity drives me: I love tackling complex problems that sit at the intersection of mathematics, physics, and engineering—whether that means designing a geometric controller for a VTOL drone or optimizing real-time software on an embedded board.

Professional snapshot

• Core expertise: nonlinear & geometric control, state estimation, robotics, embedded C/C++, Python, MATLAB/Simulink
• Recent projects:
  • VTOL tricopter: geometric tracking controller and transition management (Sapienza Flight Team)
  • Ingenuity-style Mars helicopter: high-fidelity Simulink model of NASA’s Ingenuity for Martian-atmosphere flight-dynamics analysis
  • Car Racing AI: end-to-end CNN policy for OpenAI Car Racing—data collection, network training, deployment
  • Under-actuated robot via DDP: differential dynamic programming on pendubot & acrobot with hard torque limits
• Toolbox I reach for: Git & GitHub Actions, Matlab, Simulink, LaTeX

Research & learning

I’m passionate about control theory in all its flavors: from rigorous, model-based design to modern approaches that leverage machine learning and reinforcement learning.
Right now my main focus is on non-linear control of non-differentially-flat under-actuated rigid bodies with coupled moment–force dynamics—the core topic of my master’s thesis.

My workflow is research-driven: I first dig deep into the underlying theory, then translate insights into working prototypes in MATLAB/Simulink, documenting each project with comprehensive PDF reports.

Beyond engineering

Outside of the lab and code editor you’ll likely catch me:

• 🎸 Playing guitar – arranging acoustic covers
• ⚽ Enjoying sports – football fan and sports fan in general
• ♟ Analyzing chess puzzles – trying to improve my rapid rating on chess.com
• 🪐 Exploring astrophysics – satisfying my curiosity with popular-science books and following the latest discoveries on social media
• 🌐 Staying social – actively sharing projects and insights on LinkedIn, GitHub, and tech communities, always eager to connect and exchange ideas

These hobbies keep me balanced, sharpen strategic thinking, and fuel creativity.
