# 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)](https://massimoalbarello.context-use.com/p/[private identifier]) — 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)](https://massimoalbarello.context-use.com/p/[private identifier]) — The last-year-of-high-school robotic hand: the story page plus the pictures and videos of the build.
- [Building rockets, kind of (2017)](https://massimoalbarello.context-use.com/p/[private identifier]) — 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)](https://massimoalbarello.context-use.com/p/[private identifier]) — 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)](https://massimoalbarello.context-use.com/p/[private identifier]) — 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)](https://massimoalbarello.context-use.com/p/[private identifier]) — 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)](https://massimoalbarello.context-use.com/p/[private identifier]) — 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)](https://massimoalbarello.context-use.com/p/[private identifier]) — Fabric, the company Massimo co-founded with Eeshita: a high-level intro plus a page per thing they built.
- [context-use (2026)](https://massimoalbarello.context-use.com/p/[private identifier]) — 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.
