Profile

MSc (KTH / UniTrento) with a systems-engineering background, specialized in 5G and cloud-native testbeds (Open5GS, K8s). I apply quantitative analysis and research methods to evaluate network performance trade-offs (latency, throughput) in 5G/6G service architectures.

Projects

Cloud-Native 5G + Edge Testbed

Portable, reproducible 5G testbed (Open5GS, UERANSIM, K3s, KubeEdge, Ansible) for performance evaluation. Engineered the data plane (OVS/VXLAN, Multus CNI) to analyze KPIs (latency, jitter, throughput) across edge/cloud scenarios.

5G UPF Selection Analysis

Emulated a 5G core (Open5GS, UERANSIM) to compare UPF selection policies in MEC/slicing scenarios; verified slice-specific traffic steering and measured latency/throughput trade-offs.

SDN QoS Algorithm Evaluation

Built and benchmarked a custom "Widest Path" QoS algorithm (Mininet/Ryu) against standard heuristics on flow allocation and bandwidth.
