Graduate student, got my bachelor degree in computer engineering in 2008 with a thesis about the development of a distributed system to recognize and classificate unknown entities (people, companies, products etc.) inside large groups of unstructured documents (books, newspapers, articles...), classifying them on the basis of the context they're used. The software was mostly developed in C++ and Perl for its components (client, dispatcher, server), and it's now part of Okkam project, a project supported by the European Union for the creation of a large semantic database containing any kind of knowledge available on the net. In past I worked for Intel Education Italy as a member of their development team, and as developer for Expert System S.p.a., a company active in semantic technologies. I also worked as IT consultant for my university, for which I designed their thesis database, online browsable, and led the migration of many public computers to GNU/Linux, developing and testing on some of them some software for speech recognition and face detection. In computer security area, I wrote an article on hakin9 Italy in past on techniques for shellcoding under Linux, developed many tools for computer security purposes (shellcode generator, tools for ARP poisoning a local network or log this kind of attacks, IRC bots, several tools for shellcode injection, in executable files or in memory resident code), several libraries (for managing neural networks, CGI applications in C, parsing math expressions and equations in C++) and applications related to image manipulation (border highlighting through Sobel's maps and other filters for images). I also wrote many tutorials, related to computer security, general programming, electronics, communications, math and artificial intelligence, and founded HacKnowledge project (a project available on this site that aims to become a complete reference in computer science, computer security, computer forensics, electronics, communications and math). I currently live and study in Denmark, and the focus of my interests is now mainly on artificial intelligence and computer vision topics.
