Università degli Studi di Trento
2015 - 2018Bachelor Degree Informatics 105/110Thesis developed on a company project. The project itself was developed for Vivica S.r.l. and it consists in a system that allows to connect to proprietary devices through UDP messages. The systems included the developement of a C++ Client Library, a C++ Server library for the proprietary devices and an Android app with Native support for the C++ library. Everthing was developed with cross-compilation and cross-platform support in mind.
