Oliver Quin 📺

I'm a master's student in Computer Science and Engineering at PoliMi, currently in Chicago for a double degree at the University of Illinois Chicago.

I work on projects involving systems programming and computer architecture, from Linux kernel security to FPGA applications. My interest in low-level programming started at a technical institute, where I studied computer science and telecommunications.
