Relevant Experience
IMC-CHALLENGE First Italian team and ranked 108th worldwide out of more than 12,000 participants in the IMC Prosperity Trading Challenge 2025, a 15-day international competition involving both manual and algorithmic trading. Together with other University of Padua graduates (two classmates from the MSc in Computational Finance and a master student in Statistics), we implemented robust Python-based trading algorithms and delivered a top national performance, culminating in a +155K profit during the final round.
TOODYPython web application for the detection of variability indicators in requirements documents of software systems, written for my BSc thesis. The application uses Spacy for NLP analysis and Flask for the web interface.
LAB-ASSISTANT Worked, in support of Professor Pelagatti, as lab assistant for the C laboratory exam at BSc in Physics at the University of Pisa. The main task was to help students during the exercise sessions and to correct their assignments.
CNR-PROJECT Worked, together with a colleague of mine, as a Python programmer inside the CNR offices in Pisa, helping in the realization of a scale model for blind people. The project was under the supervision of Doctor Furfari from CNR and Professor Pelagatti from the University of Pisa.
PODEEN Public repository containing a collection of configuration files and installation scripts for a complete and efficient minimal UNIX work environment based on any Debian distribution.
ASTEROIDSJavaScript implementation of the popular game Asteroids. The game is written using the p5.js library and is particularly useful to understand the basics of Event Programming.
RSA-REPORT Independent studies, under the supervision of Professor Romani from the University of Pisa, regarding the attacks that exploit the RSA cryptosystem vulnerabilities with a specific focus on the Wiener Attack and its use of Continued Fractions for the factorization of the RSA module.
HACKATHON First place in the 2021 edition of ContHackt, organized by the University of Pisa and Contamination Lab Pisa.

Areas of Interest
Being a student of Computational Finance, I am particularly interested in Numerical Approximation and Mathematical Programming. Specifically Stochastic Optimization and its applications in the field of Portfolio Management.
I am very keen on programming languages and I often find myself playing with a new language trying to improve my skills; this has made me focused on Functional Programming, experimenting with languages such as Ocaml and Haskell.
Cryptanalysis is another field that I find fascinating. I spent some time studying Lattice Theory and its implications regarding Elliptic Curve and Post Quantum Cryptography.
Competitive Sports
I have more than ten years of sailing activity at both national and international level in Optimist, 420, and 470 classes, most of which among the ranks of the Junior National Team. I competed in several prestigious regattas, above all Kiel Week and Barcolana as the two largest sailing events in the world.
NATIONAL Ranked first once and qualified among the first ten Italian Juniors other four times. Notably, winner of the Young Barcolana, Mediterranean Cup and Trofeo Accademia Navale Juniores.
INTERNATIONAL Competed, as a member of the Italian National Team, in one World Championship in Qingdao (China), three European Championships in Tavira (Portugal), Dublin (Ireland), and Riva del Garda (Italy), and finished as runner-up in one European Team Championship in Berlin (Germany).
As a side activity, I have practiced running at a discrete level, participating in several 10km and half-marathons. I have also took part in a few long-distance races, such as the Etna Marathon at over 3000m above sea level.
