About Me

dario@ziggurats:~

dario@ziggurats:~$ cat about_me.txt

I am a Software Engineer specializing in complex systems, from bare-metal firmware to the integration of cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence models.

With a strong preference for C and C++ and deep expertise in Linux environments, I design embedded solutions, mobile applications, and scalable architectures. I embrace a polyglot approach, seamlessly adapting to Python, Rust, and web technologies (HTML/CSS/JS) to cover the full software development lifecycle.

In recent years, I have focused heavily on Edge AI: optimizing and porting computer vision neural networks directly onto ARM architectures and microcontrollers, delivering high-performance, innovative solutions for robotics and intelligent automation.
