About Me
Hi! I'm Riccardo. I'm a Computer Science MSc student at Sapienza University of Rome, specializing in AI and Data Science. I work across generative AI, LLMs, computer vision, reinforcement learning, and robotics, turning complex ideas into practical solutions. I'm open to collaborations, research opportunities, and ambitious projects where I can contribute, learn, and build meaningful technology.
When I'm not writing code, you'll find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open-source projects, or sketching UI concepts. I believe great software is built with empathy, attention to detail, and relentless curiosity.
