About Me

Hi, my name is Davide.
I have been tinkering with PCs since a very young age and it has always fascinated me what can be accomplished by mixing digital with physical world. I have studied IT engineering and have then completed my knowledge with electrical engineering with a specialized apprenticeship. This has helped me to get into the wonderful world of industrial automation. I am currently situated in Switzerland. If you are interested in contacting me, drop me a message on LinkedIn.
