Projects

A URL classification pipeline that splits deterministic evidence collection from LLM judgment, producing structured and reproducible records of what a site is, what it is about, and how confident the verdict was.

Agent procedures for source ingestion, literature synthesis, contribution development, manuscript preparation and review, with explicit citation provenance and workflow boundaries.

An approval step between a Solana AI agent and a wallet: the agent declares what it wants to do, policy decides whether a human must look, and the decision is recorded on-chain as a hash.

A desk display for a Proxmox homelab, with a Go bridge that keeps Proxmox credentials off the ESP32 and serves a versioned display API.

A protocol and reproducible artifact for federated elections in which each authority publishes an encrypted local tally and the aggregation stays verifiable on-chain.

1st place, De Cifris × XRPL Commons hackathon 2024, Cryptography track

A Nostr data-vending machine that checks the signing public key of a request against an exposure dataset and returns encrypted references to matching events.

A contract and SDK for linking control of a Nostr key to an Ethereum address through on-chain BIP-340 verification, demonstrated on Base Sepolia with an unaudited verifier.

A marketplace and payment gateway for paid APIs on TON: deploy an endpoint, price it per call, and let an autonomous agent discover and pay for it in USDT without an account.

An AST-based converter from Asciidoc to Djot, written so that a format migration in the Nostr wiki specification did not require anyone to rewrite their articles by hand.

A merged correctness fix to the HEP Software Foundation reference conditions database, correcting an ordering key that could make a calibration lookup select the wrong payload.

A searchable snapshot of Google Summer of Code 2026 organizations and their project ideas, collected from heterogeneous websites and normalized into a reusable Markdown corpus.

A Bitcoin transaction and block analyzer that parses raw Core files, reconstructs accounting and identifies supported script types, with a CLI and visual walkthrough sharing one engine.

An omnichain lending protocol where borrowing power is earned by paying interest rather than granted by depositing more collateral: a credit score that cannot be farmed for free.

A testnet ETH-DOT swap prototype using hash time-locked contracts, asymmetric timeouts and an attempted XCM path for secret propagation.

1st 1inch · 1st Polkadot · 1st BuidlGuidl · ETHRome 2025 (+ ENS honorable mention)

A Bitcoin full node that reaches the network only over Tor and keeps the full transaction index, configured for asking questions about the chain rather than for validating one wallet.

A Nostr data vending machine that recommends relays against a stated threat model, using relay and social-graph observations from BigBrotr's earlier PostgreSQL toolchain.

3rd prize, Baltic Honeybadger 2025

An async Python library for the Nostr protocol that measures whether a relay can connect, read, and write instead of trusting what its NIP-11 document advertises.

A Nostr social client where a profile can carry a verified Ethereum address: the badge is backed by an on-chain proof the client checks, not by a claim a server repeats.

Three 1st prizes and one 3rd prize, NapulETH 2025

A single Python regular expression that decomposes a URI into its RFC 3986 components as named capture groups: scheme, userinfo, host, port, path, query, fragment.

Replaced an Italian industrial contractor's paper personnel files with a web application built around the question the office actually asks: who can weld this, and how well.

A narrowly scoped eBay bid-confirmation tool that prepares the browser interaction in advance and triggers it at a user-supplied time, with timing limited by the local clock and page state.

A privacy-preserving whistleblowing and sensitive-disclosure system built at ETHRome 2024.

1st Web3Privacy Now · 1st LaserRomae · ETHRome 2024

The field application for an EU Horizon 2020 project on olive genetic resources: camera capture and model-assisted cultivar and disease recognition, for agronomists working in a grove.

Closed source

A reference implementation of the Object-Centric Event Data model in one module and, more usefully, the design journal of the eleven modelling problems it ran into.

The object-oriented design of a university room-booking system, paired with an executable model that treats the booking load as a stochastic process and searches for how often the platform must refresh its view.

Twelve weeks of exercise sessions for an undergraduate algorithm-design course: problem statement, worked reasoning, Python, and the slides used to teach each one.

Training GANs on two real 10,000-image NFT collections to generate and upscale new artwork, including the attempt to blend the two, which did not work and is written up as not working.

An Android marketplace combining Firebase listings and messaging with on-device image labeling, with documented failures in asynchronous location reads and concurrent message updates.

NFT-backed lending that replaces price-based liquidation with a lottery: the borrower is funded by ticket sales, and a default hands the NFT to a ticket holder rather than to a liquidator.

Most Innovative Project, Sui Hackathon

A reverse funding graph over 16,584 Ethereum accounts that created a liquidity pool and drained it within a day, built to ask whether the people behind them share a source of money.

A measured comparison of two software-defined network topologies, showing how one added link redistributes traffic and removes an extra-hop latency penalty under the tested workload.

Collapsing 334,177 Bitcoin addresses into 109,074 entities over the chain's first two years, using a heuristic chain tuned to avoid merging entities that are not the same one.

A graded machine-learning challenge where every model scored 80% accuracy by predicting one class for every article, and the work was making that failure visible and then fixing it.

A reimplementation of a published demand-response system: an LSTM forecasting twelve hours of electricity prices, feeding reinforcement-learning agents that schedule electric-vehicle charging.

Six sessions of annotated Modelica examples that build up model-based control design: plant, controller, monitor, Monte Carlo verification, then synthesising the parameters that still satisfy the requirement.

Three Sudoku solvers in C, with two benchmarked: the Pthread version gains 5% at two threads, OpenMP is fastest with one thread, and the hybrid is excluded because of a race condition.

An HCI project for a cultural-heritage quiz app, where 23 interviews and 261 survey responses chose the feature list, including which idea to drop.

A four-person Java simulation where agents with moods, inherited character traits and private vocabularies talk, befriend, reproduce and die, and where optimists take over until a performance fix causes a population crash.

My BSc thesis at Sapienza: four ways to model an electric car inside a home energy management system, simulated over a year, and the finding that the simplest of them beat both reinforcement-learning models.

A cat-themed site for learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript, with a timed quiz per topic, built with a classmate for a BSc exam, and ported to a second database when the free host turned out not to run PostgreSQL.
