Engineering · Technology · Creativity
Telecommunications and Physics teacher, maker, engineer and technology enthusiast. I design, build and teach innovative STEM projects.
I combine engineering, making and teaching to turn ideas into practical, working systems.
IT teacher, with a background in Computer Science and Electronic Engineering.
Outside the classroom, I work in a fully equipped lab on 3D printing, CNC, and DIY projects. I also produce music as a DJ, practice photography, and fly drones.
I am drawn to technology and software development, and I enjoy connecting with people to exchange ideas and turn concepts into practical builds. STEM education is central to what I do: I aim to make digital and technical skills accessible, engaging, and hands-on.
I welcome collaboration, new challenges, and interdisciplinary work. Teamwork, creativity, and experimentation drive how I teach and build.
Check out some of my latest projects, reflecting my passion for building, designing and experimenting with technology and DIY solutions.
I run a creative lab, a fully equipped makerspace with laser cutter, 3D printers and CNC machine, creating hands-on DIY projects.
It's a hub for innovation, learning and collaboration, where I use and share my passion for technology and creativity. My 3D printed creations are available to download on Makerworld.
Designed and built a custom CNC milling machine from scratch, featuring a 430 × 830 mm working area for machining a variety of materials. The project covered the entire development lifecycle, from mechanical design and component selection to assembly, calibration, and testing.
Designed and built a fully autonomous smart beverage dispenser capable of preparing custom drinks through a software-controlled dispensing system. The machine integrates multiple independently controlled bottles housed in a custom wooden enclosure, with an electronically driven pumping system for precise liquid dispensing.
DotPress is a low-cost, open-source Braille printer designed to bridge the gap in assistive technology. Developed as an ethical engineering initiative, the project won 1st place at the Fabbricando 2026 innovation award by Danieli Group.
The system bypasses the high costs of traditional Braille embossers through intelligent mechanical management, repurposing motorized 3D printer axes for high-precision tactile punching. A custom-developed software converts standard text into specialized G-Code, controlling the axes to stamp text with the exact depth and delicacy required for tactile reading. This project explores how open hardware and custom software can drive true digital inclusion and social impact.
Developed a startup concept focused on transforming CO₂ emissions and waste heat from steel plants into valuable resources through Spirulina cultivation. The project explored a circular economy model by producing sustainable superfood ingredients and phycocyanin, a natural blue pigment for the food, cosmetics, and textile industries. Contributed to market research, business model development, financial planning, scientific analysis, and project management to evaluate the technical and commercial feasibility of the initiative.

Designed and delivered educational courses focused on 3D design, CAD modeling and additive manufacturing technologies. Guided students through the complete prototyping workflow, from concept development and digital modeling to slicing and 3D printing, combining theoretical lessons with hands-on activities to develop creativity, technical skills and practical knowledge of modern fabrication methods.
Designed and delivered hands-on courses in Arduino programming, electronics, and embedded systems. Supported participants throughout the development of interactive hardware projects, covering circuit design, sensor interfacing, actuator control, and microcontroller programming. Emphasized practical problem-solving and real-world applications to help learners build functional embedded systems.
Designed and delivered educational courses focused on robotics, automation and intelligent systems. Guided participants through the design, assembly and programming of robotic platforms, covering sensors, actuators, control systems and autonomous behaviors.
A short film directed by Saul Bass, exploring the nature of human creativity and the drive to create, from art and science to technology and innovation.
In July 2022 I participated in the NanoValbruna Festival, in Friuli Venezia-Giulia, with the project “InnovAlgae”, for the creation of a business idea regarding the use of a microalgae pilot plant that respects and satisfies the objectives of the 2030 agenda regarding the areas of sustainability and I received a special mention in the “Baite Innovation Award”.
