Hi! I'm Giacomo, an Italian computer scientist passionate about software development, data science and distributed systems.

I'm currently employed at Liquid Reply in Berlin, where I mainly work on the topics of cloud computing, DevOps and platform engineering. It is no coincidence my latest repositories are made up of tutorials and trainings on GitHub Actions and Terraform!

I have strong academic backgrounds in software development. Over the course of my bachelor I have developed—as part of group projects—applications for web (Snippex, a simple social network), mobile (GiftAlong, an Android app to pick gifts with others) and desktop (Resplan, a basic digital audio workstation). You can find all these repositories here on GitHub. Perhaps, I will pick them up again in the next few months, but for now they are abandoned.

I'm also very passionate about machine learning and AI. I spent my two internships at Alexide Srl on building a neural network for indoor temperature prediction, with the aim of improving the efficiency of the proprietary HVAC operator. The repository Time-Series-Forecasting contains a test implementation of a feed-forward network, trained on public data from a weather station in Jena, Germany.

I also have some experience in more niche areas of computer science, such as computer vision and high-performance computing. There are no repos on those subjects, although I developed a simplified fluid dynamic simulator for distributed systems while at university. Anyway, my knowledge about those fields is at the moment very limited.

I can program in Python, C#, Java, C, Javascript, Kotlin and PHP, roughly in descending order of proficiency.

As for natural languages, I am native in Italian, fluent in English, and almost conversational in German.
