I'm currently working as Computer Software Engineer for Hit Software in San Jose (CA, USA) where I am in charge of the development and technical support for Allora, a middleware solution for bidirectional data trasformation XML - RDB. I also manage product demonstrations and case studies analysis to support both the marketing and the sales team.

From June 2006 to December 2007 I worked for Escort Memory Systems in Scotts Valley (CA,USA), a Datalogic Group Company leader in the development, manufacturing and support of RFID solutions for the supply chain.  As Software System Engineer I managed most of the aspects of developing the firmware and main applications for ARM based architecture.

From October 2003 to May 2006 I worked for the Datalogic headquarters in Bologna (Italy) where I was involved in different research activities in the field of video data capture and processing. I mainly focused on video capture phenomenos by developing Matlab Applications and design of DSP-based architecture for the video processing. As result of my studies I develop new techniques to perform video restoration in the field of bar code reading sytems.
I also coordinated research activities between Datalogic and University of Bologna (Università di Bologna) as tutor of thesis.

In the 2003 I worked for NEC Research Institute , Princeton NJ (USA) as element of a team in design of EDA tools with applied solutions for Hardware and Software Co-Design tools.

During my thesis I developed a Network on-chip Interface for Multi-Processor System on-chip (OCP protocol) as part of an international project through University of Bologna (Italy) and Stanford University (CA USA).

When I was a graduate student I worked together with the Advanced Research Center on Electronic Systems for Information and Communication Technologies "Ercole De Castro" ( ARCES ) to develop a reconfigurable multiplier for FPGA and a Huffman encoder/decoder for MPEG architecture microprocessor-FPGA.
