I hold an M.Sc. in Information Technology Engineering (2016–2021) and a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering (2005–2011). My main interests are computer networks, distributed/cloud systems, and Machine Learning (ML) for networked systems. I have worked on ML-based modeling of Internet of Things (IoT) network traffic using optimization techniques, with a focus on practical, lightweight, and scalable solutions.
In parallel, I have professional experience in IT infrastructure and network operations, including virtualization, routing, and monitoring.
