Engineer with a passion for innovation

I'm an Industrial Engineer registered with the Order of the Province of Treviso, with over two decades of experience in industrial automation.

My career has led me to work with clients worldwide, from PLC programming to complex SCADA system design, to industrial control system cybersecurity.

My journey started in the '80s with a VIC20, going through C64, Z80, 8086 to modern embedded systems. This evolution gave me a deep understanding of systems at all levels.
