👤 About Me
I’m Leonardo Tronci, currently attending the 4th year, Section F at the European Classical High School of the Convitto Nazionale in Cagliari, and living in Quartucciu (Sardinia, Italy).
I am passionate about technology, especially computer engineering applied to health and education. I created EmoPet to help children better manage emotions using digital empathy and gamified virtual therapy.
I also volunteer with Arka Eventi Culturali, supporting social and educational campaigns – including Christmas fundraising for Syrian children.

Italian media described my journey as a mix of empathy and creativity that brought me from my hometown to a global AI stage. Winning 3rd place at the Future Minds Hackathon 2025 confirmed my desire to innovate through technology, helping real people with real needs.
