I am a Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat.

I’m passionate about Security and I love playing CTFs with my team fuffateam.

I was part of the Codejitsu team, led by Prof. Dawn Song, that partecipated at the Cyber Grand Challenge (CGC), where we got the 3rd place at the Qualification Event and we scored 5th at the Final Event. From September 2014 to March 2015 I was a Jr. Specialist at UC Berkeley, where I developed the project of my M.Sc thesis. Later I worked on Binkungfu, a python project written from scratch for the CGC, to analyze and instrument binaries by directly working at the assembly level.

I got my M.Sc degree in Computer Science on February 2017, at Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy, with a final grade of 110/110 cum laude. My thesis was about Blazar, a system to automatically disassemble, analyze and instrument CGC binaries by using the LLVM Intermediate Representation.

I got my B.Sc degree in Computer Science on October 2013, at Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy, with a final grade of 110/110 cum Laude. My B.Sc thesis is titled “Studio e implementazione di un integrity-checker hardware-assisted” and it can be found here.
