Summary

Software engineer and data scientist working at the intersection of the two — building systems in Rust and C++, and understanding the data that runs through them. Came to code from a background in languages and literature; self-taught, building in public since late 2025. Fast learner, strong on fundamentals, honest about what I build.

Skills

Languages I build in — Rust, C++, x86-64 assembly, Go, Swift, Python

Focus areas — full-stack & web, systems programming, distributed systems, compilers & language design, ML inference, data tooling

Data & ML — data science (DESU), data profiling, neural-network inference (ggml)

Tools — Git, Docker, CI/CD, Linux

Spoken languages — French (native), Italian (fluent), English (fluent), Latin (read)

Education

Postgraduate university diploma in data science.

Four-week introduction to programming: Swift, UI and UX design. My first steps in code.

Orientation program across the digital and IT professions.

Italian language, literature and civilization, with Latin and English, and an option in Romance-language intercomprehension.

Experience

My professional experience to date is outside software — the engineering is in the open-source work (see Software). These roles show reliability, autonomy, and comfort with administrative systems and people.
