Ciao! I'm Federico, a computer science researcher from Milan, Italy, working as a Research Scientist at Anysphere, improving Cursor's code generation models.
My research focuses on advancing automated software engineering, with the ultimate goal of fully automating the programming process. I believe software should be customized to each individual's needs, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach that serves billions of users with the same solution.
To further this goal, I co-founded GammaTau AI, an independent group of 40+ researchers dedicated to democratizing access to programming through AI. Additionally, I'm an active contributor to the BigCode project, which is responsible for developing the StarCoder family of large language models.
Prior to Cursor, I held research positions at Scale AI, Roblox, Trail of Bits, and Prof. Arjun Guha's research lab at Northeastern University.
I'm also honored to have served as the captain of the highly skilled NUCCDC cybersecurity team, which has claimed the NECCDC championship title for three consecutive years.
