Hi, I'm Kristian

Where I'm from

I grew up in Saluzzo, in Piedmont, and went to school in Fossano. In the summer of 2023 I interned at Newsoft, back in Saluzzo.

Now I live in Leuven and study engineering at KU Leuven. Around the studies I photograph for KU Leuven Sport, look after the website and IT for TEDxKULeuven and help with its media, and volunteer as a sysadmin at the Maakleerplek makerspace.

What I'm into

Electronics and radio

Electronics and radio communication fascinate me. It's why I ended up reverse-engineering the USB link of a pair of FPV goggles for GogglesView, and why I help with the electronics for the Space Eagle rocketry team.

Taking things apart

If something has no API, no manual or no obvious way in, I want to know what's inside.

Photography

200+ events photographed over 7+ years. I built Albm so the photos live on my own server, and the galleries are at gallery.kristianburiasco.it.

Travelling

Travelling feels like me. The map goes from Saluzzo to Torino, Germany, the Dolomites and Belgium so far, and the camera has taken me to Amsterdam.

Big events

I keep ending up running things at them: leading a team at the FISU Games in Torino as its youngest member, or holding a megaphone at the Olympics in Predazzo. The rest is on the events page.

Languages

Italian, English and French. I've worked in English and French as a FISU Family attaché, and between Italian and English as an interpreter at Michelin.
