Experience

CAD Touch

cadtouch.com

September 2013 ­ Present

CAD Touch is a professional CAD editor and viewer for touch devices.

I redesigned the existing iOS version of the application and developed an Android version of CAD Touch. My

work resulted in a completely new application, with a more usable user interface and new functionalities. I had

to deal with problems like new interaction models, memory consumption and multithreaded operations.

I am currently programming the new iOS application, following the principles envisioned during the previous

redesign process.

Smart Vortex

www.smartvortex.eu

March 2012 – November 2012

Smart Vortex is a European research project, composed of 14 partners.

Its goal is to provide a technological infrastructure consisting of a comprehensive suite of interoperable tools,

services, and methods for intelligent management and analysis of massive data streams, to achieve better

collaboration and decision making in large­scale collaborative projects concerning industrial innovation

engineering.

My contribution to the project comprehended the design of a Visual Query Language over data streams, the

visualization of queries results, and the design of a Visual Query Editor to compose the Visual Queries.

I also programmed a complete Web application (client side, middleware and backend) to implement these

features.

This work led to my Master’s degree Thesis titled “Visual Querying and Results Visualization Over Very Large

Data Streams”.

Skills

During the Master’s and Bachelor’s Degrees in Computer Engineering I acquired a good knowledge of:

● Programming (mainly Java and JSP) and Software Engineering;

● Relational and NoSQL Databases;

● Web Services and Web applications, from client side to server side (middleware and backend);

● Operative Systems (mainly UNIX) and their internal functioning.

I spent a semester abroad, at the Polytech Nice­Sophia Antipolis (France), attending classes about

Human­Computer Interaction. Main subjects:

● definition, prototype and evaluation of user interfaces, through incremental improvements of mockups,

and user testing;

● new interaction models, such as zooming interfaces and augmented reality.

We developed different projects as classworks, working in small, international teams.

Working as a Web Designer at Studio DE&P s.n.c.  (of which I am a co­founder), and building Websites during

my spare time, gave me a good understanding of:

● usability of Web pages,

● content presentation,

● HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript.

By developing Android and iOS applications, I had the opportunity to gain experience about their API and

design principles, and more generally about touch screen interfaces, on smartphones and tablets.

I always apply my passion for detail and clarity to the projects I work on. I love to organize and plan my work to

be more effective and productive.

I speak Italian, English and French.
