WORK EXPERIENCE

01/2014–Present Software EngineerDog Hunter AG @ DH Labs, Messina (Italy)

Skilled Python programmer, my tasks mainly concern the package maintaning of the 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 enviroment variables to expedite the overall process.

05/2013–01/2014 Attending Graduate / Freelance CollaboratorDIECII Department, Messina (Italy)

I worked as Freelance collaborator with the role of "Attending Graduate" at the DIECII Department (Department of Electronics Engineering, Chemistry and Electrical Engineering) of the University of Messina and my tasks mainly concerned projects related to GNU Radio and other DSP open-source platforms.

03/2012–05/2013 Network DesignerFreelance Service at Law and Commercial firms, Messina (Italy)

Design, configuration and test of mixed wired/wireless infrastructure for general purpose use. Improvement of the overall network efficiency by application of content filtering (i.e. URL and instant messaging services blocking). Sometimes I was also asked to take care of QoS and bandwidth management within the network itself.

04/2009–Present Electronics Engineering, ICT Development, GNU Radio, Communication SystemsFreelance Service, Messina (Italy)

The goal of my thesis research was to build an open-source tool (the gr-bertool), 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 finished my thesis research a long time ago, I still actively participate in the GNU Radio community.

Projects ▪ 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 (made by me as part of my tuition during the university years) consisted in a phone- book, with different blank spaces to fill 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 different instances of the same application. The entire work was then reverse-engineered and described in every single detail with an UML flow graph as required from my teacher.

▪ Tweaking of the mozillapackager.py script, part of the Ubuntuzilla Project, to retrieve the latest versions(localized in different languages) of the Mozilla Foundation software(i.e. Firefox, Thunderbird and Seamonkey). After being downloaded, the binary files are packaged in the *.deb file 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.

Other Full availability to work on site and to move abroad as well.
