About

Who I am

I'm a 5th-year student at a scientific lyceum with applied sciences focus in Bergamo, Lombardy. My passion for technology started long before any formal education — I taught myself to navigate operating systems, troubleshoot hardware, and experiment with software through sheer curiosity.

What drives me most right now is artificial intelligence — specifically large language models and how they can be applied to real-world automation. I run local LLMs on my own machine, work with APIs like OpenRouter, and am constantly exploring what's possible at the edge of this technology.

I'm honest about where I stand: my coding skills are still developing, but I make up for it with strong problem-solving instincts and the ability to figure almost anything out in the tech space. I've rarely encountered a technical problem I couldn't eventually solve.

Honest note: My coding abilities are foundational and still growing — I'm far more comfortable configuring systems, working with AI tools, and solving technical problems than writing complex software from scratch. I use AI-assisted development to extend what I can build.

Currently Studying

What I'm learning

Active areas of study and upcoming certifications I'm working toward.

Active

Artificial Intelligence & LLMs

Self-directed study of large language models, AI architectures, prompt engineering, local model deployment (Ollama), and practical AI application development.

Active

Google Developer Courses

Following structured learning paths on the Google Developer platform (g.dev/samuelecarne), building toward certifications in development and cloud fundamentals.

Ongoing

Scientific Lyceum — Applied Sciences

5th year of the Italian scientific curriculum with applied sciences specialization. Studying mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science, and natural sciences. Based in Bergamo, Lombardy.

Completed — awaiting graduation

American Dual Diploma — Mater Academy

Completing a US high school diploma alongside the Italian lyceum program through Mater Academy's Dual Diploma pathway. All courses conducted in English; current lowest grade is an A. This diploma allows Italian students to simultaneously earn a recognised American high school qualification, expanding university and career options internationally.
