Hobbies and Interests

Videogames

I am passionate about video games. I really like to play them and understand the mechanics implemented. I enjoy programming them for a hobby or for work. I usually use Unity as a Game Engine. Having certain knowledge also served me for my research as Ph.D. to generate Virtual Dataset for Machine Learning Tasks.

Art & Graphic

Always passionate about artistic and technical design. At the University, I had the opportunity to cultivate such passion studying Computer Graphics during my bachelor degree in Computer Science. I made as project a short animation using video compositing technique, combining reality with animated 3D models. During my Master degree I worked in a project of Cultural Heritage Digitalization learning notions of 3D reconstruction and 3D scanning.
