I was born in Folgaria, a small town in northern Italy known for its ski slopes. My passion in technology began at an early age, in the effort to upgrade my old scrap computer to run the newest games on it.
From there my passion became also my study. I chose computer science as my major in high school and then continued in this choice in university by attending the first year of Computer Science at the University of Trento.
I later moved to the Polytechnic University of Milan where I received my bachelor's degree in September 2021 and my master's degree in April 2024 in Computer Science and Engineering.
