Technical skills andcompetences

IN TECHNOLOGY AREA:Good knowledge of Microsoft operating systems Windows and Ubuntu Linux;Basic knowledge of the Apple platform;Good knowledge of MATLAB and C language;During my university career I had the possibility to develop projects in Java, C++, SQLand databases OpenSource and Assembly. Occasionally I’ve been required to codeusing HTML, VBScript, and Assembly for HC08 (motorola microcontroller).In these years I faced many jobs starting from two week work to the six months work,that allow me to use the knowledge coming from theory learned at the courses.In praticular, two of these jobs, teach me better than some others cause I was askedto realize something new, not just to implement a task but to understand the problem,think to a possible solution, develop it and finally test it.The first one was my bachelor thesis, which arises from the need of a PhD student toprocess some test’s results, that were been stored into a recorded audio files. Start-ing from the audio files structure, I develop a software in Matlab which automaticallychecks the answers by matching the recorded words, and than provides the resultsinto a pre-defined format.The second one consists of a project related to the “Robotic Word”. I was asked todevelop a software which allows the “Kuka – Youbot” robot to recognize an object ofinterest by choosing it from its colour, and to move itself to grasp it.

"HANDMADE" AND ART:I have a good skills as regards the processing of metals and materials in general. Thepassion of "do-it-yourself" is typical of my family and I have been able to improve itin the coming years thanks to the work in the factory (REDA Ltd) and interests that Ihave refined and well educated, like repairing electronic and mechanical devices, etc.More specifically, I have a good knowledge of classic working tools and I am able toperform good “SMAW” welds, basic "GMAW" welds and basic "GTAW" welds. I canuse in complete autonomy drill presses, grinder machines, bandsaws (both metal andwood), screwdrivers, pullers, overhead cranes and forklifts.

Organisational skills andcompetences

COORDINATION OF GROUPS IN INSTITUTIONAL AREA:Thanks to the work as a Student Representative, I was able to accomplish manyprojects. Starting in an environment where the student representative did not havemuch relief (primarily among the students’ opinion itself), I was able to propose andimplement projects (long- and short -term) that could improve, both the university lifequality by drawning near Students and Teachers, and restore the relevance of Repp-resentatives. The accomplished achievements were indeed many and vary betweenbureaucratic interventions, detection of problems and critical issues, the creation ofan efficient channel of communication between the parts, and the organization ofrecreational and cultural events (for which the contribution from more people was in-dispensable). Among the greatest satisfaction is the recognition of these goals bythe (previous) Departmente Headmaster, Prof. Roberto Giacobazzi, and the resultsof the charity event called "FESTA DI FINE ANNO” (held at the end of the academicyear). I have personally designed, organized and realised this event for the first timein 2009, managing to repeat the experience for 6 consecutive years. On this occa-sion I have acquired managerial skills ranging from the choice of staff members, theinteraction with municipal entities, looking for sponsors (the idea was not to weighton university funds) to the coordination of the STAFF before and during the event.(website:http://www.festascienzeunivr.it/ )

Additional details:In 2009, the STAFF was composed of 22 students and the balance sheet was negativedue to a downpour that forced the event to end prematurely.In 2010, STAFF: 61 students, CHARITY: 303.23 eIn 2011, STAFF: 73 students, CHARITY: 1000.00 eIn 2012, STAFF: 80 students CHARITY: 2000.00 eIn 2013, STAFF: 90 students, CHARITY: 3000.00 eIn 2014, STAFF: 110 students, CHARITY: 4500.00 e



For the last three editions, thinking about the future, I partitioned and coordinatedthe organization among two STAFF: An executive one that operated for the installa-tion, service in the evening and dismantling, and one that dealt with the bureaucraticorganization.The last edition has been enriched with a "Science Park" where the guest could visitand ask about the last research news and try some labs demos.

INSTITUTIONAL RELATIONS:Since 2008, I covered the charge of Student Representative elected in the Faculty’sCouncil (migrated to the Department Council in 2012) and in the Council of Students.Over the years I have had the pleasure of being re-elected for three consecutive termsin the two mentioned council, managing to emerge in the student council in whichI reached the President charge after two years as a concilor, three years as VicePresident and a year as President. All this has been possible thanks to the “Debug”electoral list, completely independent and non-partisan, founded by myself.Through the work of Representative I learned how to interact in institutional envi-ronment covering responsibility roles and to establish and develop relationships withrelevant professionals.

COORDINATION OF SPORT TEAMS:In the years 2009 and 2010 I coached and followed two categories of football club"Juventina Valpantena" football school and young football pupils. In 2010, 2011, tak-ing advantage of the facilities provided by the same company, I helped to organizeand implement the "Sporting Camp" at which they could enroll children from 5 yearsup to 13 years old kids. In both experiences, it was necessary to face parents duringmeetings and to deal with the responsibility of organizing activities designed for thatcontext.

Social skills andcompetences

LONG TERM INTERACTIONS:Until the age of 21 I was able to enjoy the benefits that the restaurant business, ran bymy family (family business), was able to offer me, learning to deal with regular localcustomers. By interacting with these groups of people I’ve learned how to establishand develop long-term and trustworthy relationships.

SHORT TERM INTERACTIONS:The experience gained on Holiday Villages as Entertainer, allowed me to confrontmyself with large groups of people (about 800 tourists per week) from different realitiesand ages: children, adolescents, adults and the elderly.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS:Thanks to the experience gained in restaurants and Holiday Villages I then furtherenriched my skills of interaction through seasonal work in the Arena of Verona.This collaboration allowed me to improve my knowledge of the English language,already established by the travel (for personal interest) abroad, including: Melbourne(AUS) 12-2007/1-2008, Melbourne (AUS) 12-2010 / 2-2011.

Artistic skills andcompetences

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT:In 2007 I founded a Cabaret group together with 3 other people. The quartet is named"Terenzio e i Coppini Freski" among the successes there’s a first place award at thenational competition cabaret "Amore Mio" by Grottammare, 2009 and other prizesof considerable importance (2nd and 3rd) obtained other Italian competitions thanksto sketches from our repertoire. The sketches proposed by the group have beendesigned by myself and co-founder Terenzio Traisci.
