Projects

Enduring bodies of work Massimo builds, operates or stewards, with concise canonical context and curated milestones. They run in rough chronological order, and each has its own page.

• The special alarm clock (2015) — Massimo's first end-to-end product: the story page plus the pictures of the finished alarm clock and its making-of.
• The robotic hand (2016–2017) — The last-year-of-high-school robotic hand: the story page plus the pictures and videos of the build.
• Building rockets, kind of (2017) — The 2017 attempt at building rockets: joining Skyward Experimental Rocketry's electronics department as a first-year Politecnico student — the story page plus the pictures.
• See You There! (2020) — SYT ("See You There!"), the 2020 side project Massimo and Luca built to engineer serendipity in pandemic-era Zurich: the story page plus the Shaka logo, campus ads, and app screenshots.
• Omnia (2020–2024) — Omnia, the umbrella project that spanned the whole Zurich period: a high-level intro plus a page for each subproject, from the first Covid-era hacking sessions onwards.
• Learning from interactions (2021–2022) — Learning from Interactions (2021–2022): Massimo's semester project in Simon Mayer's Interactions Lab, using data from the lab's networked IoT sensors and actuators to learn user preferences and personalize the environment.
• Fast Internet Computer consensus (2022–2023) — Massimo's 2022–2023 master's thesis project — his one shot at real academic research: a faster consensus protocol for the Internet Computer, developed at ETH's DISCO group, which became Banyan (Best Paper at Middleware 2024).
• Fabric (2024–2026) — Fabric, the company Massimo co-founded with Eeshita: a high-level intro plus a page per thing they built.
• context-use (2026) — context-use, the project behind this self-writing autobiography: a personal context layer whose private side belongs to you and your agents, and whose public side can be opened to the world.
