May 2013 - PresentCareer HistoryAttending Graduate / Freelance Collaborator @ DIECII

I am currently a Freelance collaborator as “Attending Graduate” at the DIECII Department (De-partment of Electronics Engineering, Chemistry and Electrical Engineering) of the University ofMessina and my tasks mainly concern projects related to GNU Radio and other DSP open-sourceplatforms.

March 2012 - May 2013Network Designer at Law and Commercial firms - Freelance service

Design, configuration and test of mixed wired/wireless infrastructure for general purpose use. Im-provement of the overall network efficiency by application of content filtering (i.e. URL and instantmessaging services blocking). Sometimes I was also asked to take care of QoS and bandwidthmanagement within the network itself.

April 2009 - PresentElectronics Engineering, ICT Development, GNU Radio, Communication Systems

The goal of my thesis research was to build an open-source tool, useful for the student, for evaluatingthe Bit Error Rates of the digital modulations (in real-time also) over the wired (AWGN) and thewireless channels both modeled in a mathematical way combining Python with the GNU Radioplatform. Altough I finished my thesis research a long time ago, I still actively participate in theGNU Radio community.

CurricularActivities • Design and implementation of a dual system consisting of a Voltage/Frequency converter and a

Frequency/Voltage converter.

• Design and implementation of a short-range, low-cost TX/RX Radio System operating in theRF spectrum.

• Design of a Java-based client/server application involving a SQL database, threads and GUIs.The project consisted in a phonebook, with different blank spaces to fill in the main GUI(Name,address, phone number and so on), interfacing with a SQL database running on the server side.The client was able to recall data from the database and to delete stored data as well throughSQL queries nested in the java code as simple strings. Being multi-threaded, the user was alsoable to launch different instances of the same application. The entire work was then reverse-engineered and described in every single detail with an UML flow graph as required from myteacher.

• Tweaking of the mozillapackager.py script, part of the Ubuntuzilla Project, to retrieve thelatest versions(localized in different languages) of the Mozilla Foundation software(i.e. Firefox,Thunderbird and Seamonkey). After being downloaded, the binary files are packaged in the*.deb file format so that a debian-based Linux distribution user is able to install/uninstall theapplication in a very simple way.

• Deploying open-source code on the Internet in my spare time.
