Strengths
I work best by using code both to generate visuals as well as to develop systems. I feel comfortable learning new technologies to solve practical problems. I’m also good at basing concepts on scientific theories, or particular devices.
I’m interested in working on team projects that explain and tell, from education to perception experiments.
Skills
I have a good knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite, mainly Illustrator, Photoshop, and After Effects and Premiere for the video editing. I can code in Processing, HTML, CSS, Pascal and I roughly read most of the languages. I also have a good knowledge of audio editing on Logic, Ableton, Max MSP/Jitter..
Languages
My mother tongue is Italian. I have good English. I can read Portuguese, as I did a five- month Erasmus exchange, but I’m still not very good at speaking it.
Portfolio
These are two team projects. Visit my website to know more and to see all of them.
Elgobo is an app that allows people, wishing to auction personal memorabilia, to attach personal stories to them. After the first phase, I mainly worked on the prototype.
Alias Gen is a small app that allows you to generate aliasing errors on the video source you choose, the built in webcam is set as default.
