I design satellites end to end — from the first requirement to the first signal from orbit. Ten-plus years across system engineering, FPGA, embedded software and RF payloads.
I'm a Senior Satellite System Engineer and Technical Manager with hands-on experience across the full space mission lifecycle: conceptual design, requirements definition, integration, test, and LEOP.
My path started close to the metal — writing C drivers, FPGA firmware and SpaceWire links — and grew outward into system architecture. That bottom-up background is what I bring to every system-level decision: I know what the subsystems underneath actually have to do.
I've led TRL 9 missions in RF reconnaissance, GNSS and ELINT as System Architect and Project Manager, and built and scaled a specialised System Engineering unit. Today I work on the EAGLET 2 constellation within Italy's IRIDE Earth observation programme.
Rapidly promoted from Avionics Architect to Satellite System Engineer for EAGLET 2 — 24 high-resolution multispectral satellites with a secondary AIS payload, part of the IRIDE programme.
Head of the System Engineering and Development Unit.
24 high-resolution multispectral satellites with a secondary AIS payload for Italy's national EO programme.
End-to-end space and ground segment for geolocating terrestrial RF emitters through on-board signal processing and analysis.
Launch of a LEO payload with Software Defined Radio capabilities, acquiring large datasets for follow-on R&D.
Infrastructure delivering services that safeguard users relying on GNSS signals. Referenced by ESA/NAVISP.
Spectrum detection, classification and localisation with 2 GB/s sustained acquisition per channel for LEO mini-satellites.
Fault-tolerant on-board computer for real-time object detection in harsh environments.
Mobile ground station for CubeSat constellation tasking and data retrieval, with an electronically steerable patch-antenna array.
