Degree:

MS, Electronic Engineering (major: Telecommunications), University of Trieste, Italy, 1998, graduated 108/110.
EC Engineering Certificate, Italy, 1998
Thesis: "Music streaming over the Internet with controlled loss of quality", adviser prof. Fulvio Babich.
Professional interests:
Signal processing, embedded systems, protocols and networking, compilers, I prefer to think and develop than just assemble pieces of code
Working experiences:
  • Cooperation with Fwdnxt, then Micron, in the development of the compiler for the Micron Deep Learning Accelerator (once Snowflake deep neural network processor) (2017-2023).
  • Cooperation with Movidius, then Intel, in the development of the Neural Compute Stick (once Fathom) (2016-2018).
  • Cooperation with Purdue University and Teradeep on Convolutional Neural Networks for image recognition (2014-2017).
  • Independent software developer. Various products have been realized on commission or by self initiative in order to be sold to the market. These products are mainly targeted to a professional market in the field of telecommunications. Most of them are PC software (http://www.vitez.it/products/), but some embedded designs have also been realized on commission, some comprising hardware design and others not (1997-).
  • Main developer of a complete VoIP solution (vPhone, server and client applications). Development of a proprietary VoIP protocol and its implementation for Windows, Linux, iOS and Android. Implementation of the SIP protocol for the same platforms (2003-2013).
  • Main developer of a software suite for complete automation of networks of radio stations (VMDSS (DOS) and Qnet (Windows) projects). Player, Database, TCP/IP, ISDN, RDS and SMS interface, ISDN and TCP/IP music streaming. In use at Radio 1, Radio Antena, Radio Fantasy, Radio Ognjišče (Slovenia) and other (1996-). The Qnet suite has been adapted to video and is now a complete solution for TV broadcasting automation (standard and high definition). In use at InfoTV (the first commercial high definition TV in Slovenia), VPK and other (1996-).
  • Development of a TDMA/TDM controller for satellite communications in collaboration with CNUCE and Marconi (1999-2002).
  • Research activity with a grant from CNIT (Consorzio Nazionale Interuniversitario per le Telecomunicazioni) in the project "Integration of Multimedia Services on Heterogeneous Satellite Interconnected Networks". Protocols, networking problematics, MPEG-4 audio and video codings (1999-2001).
  • Computers, networks and audio equipment installation and maintenance at radio stations (1996-2000).
  • DSP software development on Motorola DSP56002 (research activity) (1997).
