Matteo Nardini
aka Shalen
I'll be right back, I'm just thinging things.
About me
Hi! I am Matteo Nardini, an Italian software engineer with a keen interest in leaning new things.
I mostly focus on the development and evolution of complex software systems with a recent detour in the world of GNSS, geodesy, telecommunications engineering and digital signal processing. I am also interested in compter graphics, embedded Linux programming and cybersecurity.
You can find me on the Internet:
Some of the stuff I have done:
HoloAssist: Integrating an augmented reality headset in a flight simulator
My master thesis. It presents a platform that allows to integrate the Microsoft Hololens into any fixed-platform flight simulator and to show augmentations placed at precise geographical locations.
Docker as a service on a blockchain
My bachelor thesis. It is about developing a decentralized marked for computation on a blockchain. Spoiler alert, it didn't work.
Micromouse
The small robot we designed as part of the Micromouse: Building an educational robot from scratch practical course during my master. Developed with Philipp Hagenlocher, Hendrik Möller, Congnan Wang.
Tools!
A collection a various tools that I found useful over the years. Most of these exist already, but they are incomplete or overrun by ads.
Digit recognizer
A hand-written digit recognizer. My "Hello world!" to Rust, Deep Learning and Web Assembly.
Mandelbrot
An experimentation with WebGPU: implementing a Mandelbrot set visualizer.
Sometimes I like to write something, feel free to take a look ( ):
How to crash a ground station
The postmortem of that funny time in which I crashed a satellite ground station. It's weirder than you may expect.
GNSS and time
How to convert a UNIX time point to GPS time point? The answer is surprisingly easy, being sure it is correct is not.
Rendering the Mandelbrot set
A short recap of my side-project on rendering the Mandelbrot set.
