Caldara
I turn complex IT ideas into real, working products.
Computer Science student at the University of Geneva, drawn to cybersecurity, applied cryptography and full-stack development. I've built an end-to-end encrypted messenger, AI-powered tools and web platforms — in a team and solo. I'm looking for an internship where I can learn fast and ship things that get used.
Selected Projects
Five builds — what they do and how they're put together.
-
01
Anonymous Instant Messenger
Self-hosted, Discord-inspired chat built for total anonymity: 16-digit secure IDs instead of email logins, browser-side end-to-end encryption and a zero-metadata storage policy.

PolyPitch — Hackathon
An inclusive platform that breaks language barriers in live meetings through real-time translation, speech-to-text and multilingual summaries.
About
The person behind the commits.
I'm Alessandro — an Italian student doing a Bachelor in Computer Science at the University of Geneva. I'm drawn to cybersecurity, applied cryptography and full-stack development, and I like turning ideas into products that actually run.
My path isn't perfectly linear, and that's the point: a web-developer role, a summer in quality control, customer-facing work — each added a layer. I bring structure, follow-through and enough technical depth to build what I plan.
Away from the keyboard I've played piano for 15 years, and I'm into photography and aviation.
- 01
Ship small and real — a working thing beats a big promise.
- 02
Understand before building — read the code, then write it.
- 03
Care about security and detail, not just the happy path.
Skills
