Hello there! 😃

About me

I'm Francesco, a programmer and a classicist based in Berlin, Germany .

Besides using Go to create and connect APIs for my work as a Back-end Developer, I have some experience in using Python to explore Machine Learning, by combining data science with linguistics, history and socio-anthropology.
I enjoy breaking the boundaries between disciplines and I am convinced that the key for our future lies in the combination of hard sciences and humanities. I like to learn something new every day.

I believe that:

People form the most valuable Neural Networks of all
There is nothing so complex that it cannot be explained with a good story
