About me

I'm a Power Electronics Engineer and Automation Enthusiast from Switzerland, passionate about making electrons dance in perfect formation! ⚡

My journey started at Politecnico di Torino where I earned my B.Sc. (2006) and M.Sc. (2008) in Electrical Engineering. Since then, I've been on a mission to bridge the gap between theory and practice, one circuit at a time.

Currently working on automotive power electronics, diving deep into Python & AI, and collaborating on GeckoCIRCUIT software. Because why choose between hardware and software when you can make both work together?

"Leave the world in a better shape than what you have found" - this isn't just my motto, it's my daily mission through knowledge sharing and community building.
