Bio

Since middle school, I grew up with programming in Basic and Assembly 6502 on a Commodore 64, and later on with Assembly 68000 on an Amiga 500. I’ve got a Computer Engineering degree from University of Pisa and a PhD from Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (SSSA) of Pisa, where I spent more than 20 years at the Real-Time Systems Laboratory (ReTiS) carrying out research on smart-card based authentication and adaptive real-time scheduling strategies in the Linux kernel. In year 2012, I left academia to become a MTS in Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs in Dublin, Ireland, carrying out research in security and real-time performance of cloud-based systems. In July 2014, I became a Software Development Engineer in Amazon DataBase Services, Dublin, Ireland, where I worked on improving the real-time performance and scalability of DynamoDB. Since 2016, I’m back at the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna as associate professor, holding courses on Component-Based Software Design, Cloud Computing and Big-Data processing infrastructures. An overview of my research interests, published papers and patents can be found on my home page.
