Biography

MSc in Electronics Engineering from Politecnico di Torino, Italy. Holds a BSc in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Computer Science. Experienced as a Research Assistant for courses on Power Electronics, Controls, Instrumentation, Microcontrollers, and Embedded Systems. Furthermore, I’ve worked as an Embedded System Developer for a National Research Program. Consequently, published several research papers from these positions in reputable conferences and journals.

I’ve extensively worked with MATLAB, Simulink, LabVIEW, LTspice, OrCAD PSpice/Schematics, Presto, Allegro, PCB Design in KiCAD, Cadence AWR/Axiem, Quartus Prime, ModelSim, Eclipse, NIOS-2, PSSE Xplore, Proteus, Cisco PT, Multsim, GX Developer, Wireshark, and Adobe Suite. Skilled in languages including Python, C++, Embedded C, Assembly, VHDL, Verilog, PLC Ladder, and TeX. Know IDEs, including Arduino IDE, Atmel Studio, Kiel uVision, Code Composer Studio, Espressif, and VS Code.

Hands-on experience with ESP32 boards, STM Nucleo Boards, FPGAs, ARM microcontrollers, DSPs, Mitsubishi PLC, CNCs, SDRs, Lathe machines, Quanser and DAQ Modules, Oscilloscopes, Keysight VNA, Spectrum Analyzer, PSUs, DMMs, Function Generators, and LabVolt Trainers. Proficient with Office Suite, Excel, Word, LibreOffice, PowerPoint, Visio, PyTorch, Collab, and Mendeley. Also familiar with IoT Applications, Technical Documentation, Datasheet Analysis, User Guides/Manuals, Scientific Reporting, and Product Development.

I’m passionate about learning and innovating with great enthusiasm, eager to expand my technological horizons through intellectual ventures. In the near future, I intend to study and work in the design, validation, and testing of industrial electronic systems and products.
