I'm finishing an MSc in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Bologna, having spent the past year on Erasmus at NTNU in Trondheim. Before that, a Computer Engineering degree with honors, an internship at National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) training AIs for my thesis, and a year and change as a full stack developer.
A few things from the side:
- Led the "AIs Of Spades" poker AI project at Cogito NTNU, training a policy network with reinforcement learning.
- Built retrobottegabo.it end to end (frontend, backend, database) for Retrobottega in Bologna.
- Published 750 Openings: Big Book of Chess Openings on Amazon.
- Worked part-time as a baker in Trondheim, unrelated to all of the above.
