CS student @ Uninsubria. I work across three layers — web (React / JS), mobile (Flutter), and embedded / IoT (ESP32, custom PCBs, 3D-printed enclosures). AI-assisted workflow. I like taking a project from idea to something that actually runs — on a domain or on a board.
Tech Stack
Every project gets a name from mythology. Greek or Norse — whichever fits the nature of the project first, then the web of connections to the others.
The names aren't decoration. Each one carries a concept that mirrors what the tool actually does. They also talk to each other: Mimir sits beneath Yggdrasill. Morpheus shapes what Mnemosyne remembers. Klio writes what Morpheus finds.
All names orbit a single idea — memory as power.
⌖ Morpheus
Greek · Μορφεύς — god of dreams, from morphoō: to give form
B2B tool for finding local businesses with no digital presence. Scans OpenStreetMap, scores with a composite algorithm, maps results interactively, and enriches data via LLM-assisted Facebook lookup. Local businesses are asleep online — Morpheus finds them.
Python React SQLite Leaflet LLM
◉ Mimir
Norse · guardian of the well of knowledge beneath Yggdrasill
Preflight checker for Claude Code sessions. Estimates token cost and risk before you run expensive tasks. Answers one question before every session: how much will this cost? The gatekeeper.
JavaScript
ᚠ Fehu
Norse · first rune of the Futhark — cattle, mobile wealth
Local-first personal finance tracker. No cloud, no account, no subscription. Telegram integration, planned LLM-powered receipt OCR via local vision model.
Svelte
Norse · the World Tree connecting the nine realms
Smart plant monitor built from scratch — custom PCB design, ESP32 firmware, RGB LEDs, 3D-printed enclosure, and a native iOS app (WLED-iOS fork, restyled with Apple's Liquid Glass). A physical node connecting hardware and software, like the tree that holds the cosmos together.
ESP32 C++ Swift KiCad 3D Print
Greek · Κλειώ — Muse of history
Brand for bringing local businesses onto the web. Logo: a K with an Ionic column shaft, volutes as papyrus scrolls. Local businesses without a site don't exist on the web — Klio writes them in.
