I am Matteo Franzil. I work as a researcher for Fondazione Bruno Kessler
in Trento, Italy.
Currently, my research focuses on cloud orchestration and security, network
monitoring, and virtualization.
Technically, I am a computer scientist with a strong background in networks, systems, and security. I am proficient in data center and server deployment and management, cloud computing, and automation. I have a passion for learning and problem solving, and like to tinker with all sorts of new technologies on my own.
I have a Master's Degree in Computer Science from the University of Trento, with a specialization in Systems and Networks, Cloud Computing, and Cyber Security. I plan to start a PhD in the near future.
In my free time, I am an unstoppable explorer and photographer: my backpack is always ready for the next hike or trip when the time calls for it. I am also an avid nerd, with a passion for electronics and PC building.
Sociality is at the core of my lifestyle: I love to work in groups, and I have led and organized several events since high school. Managing my time is essential for me, in order to achieve a healthy life-work balance.
My work and study experience is summarized here. For further information, my CV is available for download.

This section shows a selection of my publications, works, and projects. On my GitHub profile, you may find the source code for most projects.
An archive of past projects is available here.Since 2013, I've been tinkering with digital photography and experimented with all sorts of genres: from wide-angle landscapes to macros, concerts, night parties and astrophotography.
On franzilmedia.com, I regularly publish all new galleries. Photos made in privacy-sensitive contexts (e.g. parties) do not get published.
I primarily shoot with my trusty Nikon D5300. More information about my gear is available here. You can contact me for any kind of requests, from asssignments to copies of old photos.
