Hey! I'm Luca โ a tech enthusiast diving deep into the worlds of AI, software, and embedded systems. Currently pursuing Electrical Engineering & Computer Science (Honours) at Monash University, where I'm pushing boundaries as part of the Monash DeepNeuron AI technical team. My passion thrives at the intersection of machine learning, full-stack development, and hardware integration.
When I'm not coding up a storm, you'll find me backpacking, hiking, or planning my next adventure (just returned from an epic Vietnam backpacking trip) or crushing climbs on my road bike! ๐ดโโ๏ธ
