Alex Vellone

Software Engineer
  • place Italy, Verbania

I'm a former Italian RoboCup champion and a Software Engineer at Jet HR. I wrote my first line of code at 14, and with over 4 years of working experience in software engineering, I've worked with a wide range of technologies including Django, Vuejs, Go, Kubernetes and more.

In my free time, I enjoy working with robots at Elettra Robotics Lab, where I'm a member. I serve as the tech lead and mentor for the robotics student group at IIS Cobianchi, with which we've been competing in RoboCup events at both national and international levels since 2017. Since 2022, I've been an international referee at the RoboCup world championships, drawing from the experience gained through my participation in competitions since 2017.

Transport Tracker AI is a project to innovate all transport companies. We can track transport vehicles and thanks to the ML we can accurately predict the arrival time. Realizing this we used the Flutter framework for mobile development, Vue.js for the administration tool and Google Firebase services for managing and modeling our data. With this project I won the Elmec talent challenge, among computer science students.

I'm part of the MegaHertz team, a group of students that competes nationally and worldwide with soccer robots inside RoboCup. As a developer of the group, I worked on implementing game movements and strategies on our robots, using C as the main language. In our last soccer robot, I worked on the new omnidirectional vision system and on the recognition of objects in Python using OpenCV and an open source camera. In 2021, arriving first to the Italians Open, we qualified to participate in the RoboCup 2021 Worldwide.
