lanterno - Overview
Senior Software Engineer · Climate Fellow · Digital Identity Specialist
11+ years of experience building robust, scalable systems. Currently at EPFL's Center for Digital Trust (C4DT), I work on digital identity infrastructure for Switzerland — experimenting with cutting-edge standards for digital wallets, verifiable credentials, and decentralized identity.
Beyond code, I'm passionate about space sustainability, climate tech. As a Climatebase Fellow (Cohort 6), I explored the intersection of technology and sustainability in energy, transportation, and agriculture.
