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 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. 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 in Barletta in 2023 where I developed my Java programming skills.
Projects
I developed a mobile app for our team's project to participate in the JA Italia 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.
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: I participated in this CTF (Capture The Flag) competition three times, reaching the national level.
- Cyberchallenge: 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: I participated in this competitive programming competition three times, reaching the national level twice.
- Olimpiadi di Informatica a Squadre: I participated in this team-based competitive programming competition twice, but did not reach the national level.
