About
I am part of the Architecture, Design and Web Information Systems Engineering Group under the supervision of my advisor Prof. Cesare Pautasso. As a researcher in the group I focus my work mainly on Liquid software and real-time communication Web technologies. Moreover I help the professor with lectures and homeworks, interacting with students on a daily basis. My research interests are: Web technologies, real-time applications, Liquid software, multi-device interactions.
When I am not sitting in front of my computer you can probably find me teaching basketball for Lugano Tigers, the local basketball team from where I was born and live. For the record I hold a G+S (Gioventù e Sport) license which allows me to teach basketball to kids and teenagers. While teaching basketball is a pretty satisfactory hobby I also enjoy fantasy games, in particular I have 15 years of experience as the Dungeon Master of a multitude of friendly parties, usually playing D&D3.5, D&D4, Pathfinder or Fate. Lately I also discovered my passion for cooking sweets, even though I am kind of an amateur.

Liquid.js is a Web framework for creating component-based applications able to seamlessly flow between multiple heterogeneous devices following the user attention. Users owning multiple devices can take advantage of running liquid Web applications taking full advantage of all of their devices.
Liquid applications are meant to run sequentially or in parallel on a dynamic set of devices connected in a Peer to Peer mesh. Developers aiming to add liquid behaviors on top of their Polymer applications can take advantage of the APIs provided by the framework in order to migrate, fork or clone their already built Web components. Stateful components are automatically and transparently syncrhonised between devices without relying on a centralized master copy deployed in the Cloud.
Liquid.js is built on Polymer, WebRTC and Yjs.
