## Who am I?
Hi, I'm Mariano Riefolo. I'm passionate about the world of computer science,
with a focus on software development and cybersecurity. When I'm not coding,
you can find me reading a book or learning new skills. I'm driven by projects that
challenge me to learn and grow, and I'm dedicated to delivering exceptional results.
## My education
I graduated from [ITET Cassandro Fermi Nervi](https://cassandroferminervi.edu.it)
in Barletta with a High School Diploma in Computer Science and Telecommunications
with highest honors (100/100). I am currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science
at the [University of Bari Aldo Moro](https://uniba.it). Throughout my academic journey,
I have had the opportunity to participate in various projects and competitions.
In addition to my formal education, I have also completed certifications through
courses offered at ITET Cassandro Fermi Nervi. Furthermore, I gained practical
experience through a summer internship at
[Sanmarco Informatica](https://www.sanmarcoinformatica.com/) in Barletta in 2023
where I developed my Java programming skills.
## Projects
[FlowSchool](https://git.riefolo.me/mariano/flowschool-mobile-application)
I developed a mobile app for our team's project to participate in the [JA Italia](https://www.jaitalia.org/)
competition. The app allows users to log in to their account using a REST API,
scan a QR code, and send it to the API hosted on my server. I developed the app using
Android Studio, Kotlin, and Jetpack Compose.
[School Schedule Web App](https://git.riefolo.me/mariano/orario-scolastico-itet)
I created a web app that automatically scrapes the school's website, retrieves
the PDF, and generates schedules for teachers and classes. The schedules are
displayed on a dynamic page and can also be accessed through a REST API.
For this project, I used Rust with Axum for the backend
and vanilla JavaScript for API data retrieval
## Competitions
- [Olicyber](https://olicyber.it/): I participated in this CTF (Capture The Flag)
competition three times, reaching the national level.
- [Cyberchallenge](https://cyberchallenge.it/): I participated in this
attack-and-defense competition once, representing the Polytechnic University of
Bari. The competition is for high school and university students.
- [Olimpiadi Italiane di Informatica](https://olinfo.it/): I participated in this
competitive programming competition three times, reaching the national level twice.
- [Olimpiadi di Informatica a Squadre](https://squadre.olinfo.it/):
I participated in this team-based
competitive programming competition twice, but did not reach the national level.
