IT Teacher - Hardware R&D Engineer, technology enthusiast. I design, build and teach innovative STEM projects.
Bridging engineering, digital fabrication, and teaching to turn complex ideas into working prototypes and solutions.
IT Teacher - Hardware R&D Engineer, educator with an academic background in electronic engineering with a curriculum in computer science and systems. I develop innovative hardware projects and am passionate about teaching and technical training.
Within my dedicated research and development lab (MakeStuff Lab), I combine rapid prototyping, 3D printing, CNC milling, laser cutting, and electronic design. This setup allows me to experiment freely and quickly bridge the gap from concept to a working prototype.
Teaching is at the heart of what I do: I deliver practical workshops, courses, and learning experiences for schools, professionals, and companies covering embedded systems, robotics, digital fabrication, and IoT. The goal is always to make technology tangible, accessible, and inspiring.
I collaborate on prototyping projects, technical consulting, and dedicated training programs for schools, startups, and organizations looking to innovate with a hands-on, creative mindset.
A curated selection of mechatronic systems, custom devices, and functional prototypes built with engineering care and precision.
Advanced research and development facility equipped with custom CNC machining, professional 3D printers, and precision laser cutting for rapid hardware prototyping and functional validation.
A hub for applied innovation where prototypes and mechatronic systems are built. Technical designs are also shared on MakerWorld.
Designed and built a custom 3-axis CNC milling machine from scratch featuring a 430 × 830 mm working area for precision machining of aluminum, engineering polymers, hardwoods, and composites. The project covered complete structural design, axis kinematics, closed-loop stepper motor drives, control software, and micrometer-level calibration.
Smart mechatronic fluid dispensing system powered by custom Raspberry Pi software architecture. Integrates electronically controlled peristaltic metering pumps, liquid level sensors, CNC-machined wooden and aluminum chassis, and dedicated software for parametric recipe management and live telemetry.
DotPress is a low-cost, open-source Braille printer engineered to bridge socioeconomic barriers in assistive technologies. The project was awarded 1st place at the Danieli Group "Fabbricando" innovation award.
Leveraging cartesian kinematics and custom software compiling text directly into high-precision G-Code tactile punching strokes, DotPress demonstrates how open hardware combined with purposeful software delivers high-impact industrial solutions.
Development of an industrial concept for capturing and valorizing steel mill CO₂ emissions and waste heat via photobioreactor cultivation of Spirulina microalgae. Technical feasibility analysis, bio-mechanical cycle sizing, financial modeling, and project management supporting industrial decarbonization.
Practical training programs, hands-on workshops, and applied labs covering digital fabrication, electronics, embedded systems, and robotics.
Hands-on modules covering the full additive manufacturing workflow: from parametric 3D modeling for machining tolerances to advanced slicing, machine operation, and preventative maintenance for production-grade 3D printers. Ideal for technical teams, educators, and professionals.
Practical workshops for developers, technicians, and students covering schematic design, hardware prototyping, and C/C++ programming. In-depth focus on industrial bus protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN), interrupt routines, sensors, and IoT integration.
Specialized training exploring the synthesis of precision mechanics, electronics, and control algorithms. Kinematic design, motor driving, autonomous navigation, and computer vision for automation and applied learning.
A cinematic milestone that investigates human creative impulse and the drive to invent at the intersection of art, science, and technology. The foundation of my methodology: engineering rigor, empirical curiosity, and passion for education.
