Hey ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm Antonio, a Computer Engineer currently pursuing an MSc in Computer Engineering at the University of Padua, specialising in AI & Robotics. My interests span deep learning algorithm design, systems programming, and the development of reliable distributed systems.

I'm particularly drawn to performance and optimisation whether it's improving code, designing efficient systems, or fine-tuning my development environment.

SoundFood

Software Engineering Intern โ€” IoT & Embedded Systems

SoundFood s.r.l.

Jan 2024 โ€“ Oct 2024Padova, Italy

  • Designed and implemented an IoT-based distributed audio system for restaurants using Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W devices, enabling independently controlled audio environments across multiple tables.
  • Architected the audio pipeline around Mopidy and Snapcast, combining synchronized multi-device playback with independently controlled audio zones.
  • Developed the control layer and web interface with React and Redux, integrating Mopidy through WebSocket and Snapcast through JSON-RPC for playback, volume, device-state, and asynchronous-event management.
  • Optimized the embedded stack on DietPi for resource-constrained hardware, keeping CPU utilization below 30% and memory usage at approximately 150 MB during operation.
