I am a computer science student, completed my Master studies at the University of Trento and RWTH Aachen and am now pursuing my PhD at the National Centre for Geocomputation in Ireland.

I simply like coding and helping others deepens my knowledge in the area of their problem or makes me learn something new, which is a benefit for (hopefully) both sides.

Sites:

• Blog - irregularly updated
• GitHub - complete and incomplete work
• Google+ - just me

Noteworthy projects:

• FloatNotes - a Firefox addon which lets you add sticky notes to websites. Quite useful for SO as well, to keep links to various "duplicate questions" or language references. Here is an example of my screen.

• Codingpad is a Google Chrome extension which opens a small popup that lets execute code right from the web page you are. It currently uses codepad.org as service, but plans for an API to easily integrate other backends are in the making. Very useful to quickly test your code examples on SO.
