Alessandro "AkiRoss" Re

Personal Website

Short bio I believe to be publicly relevant

I am Alessandro, Italian, 1985, computer science enthusiast with a sense of humor and amazingly skilled in overestimating my free time.

My gravatar, which might change, but usually is a picture of me.

I was a nerd before it was cool and my tools of choice are NixOS as OS, neovim as editor and firefox as a browser. Married, no kids because I'm too busy trying to quit vi.

I have quite a few interests and I am happy to discuss about anything related to Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Visualization, Real Time Computer Graphics, Simulations, Parallel Computing, GPGPUs, Programming Languages and Food. I am, as 2023, happy Pythonista and Rustacean.

I have a Master Degree in Computer Science, obtained at The Great University of Milan Bicocca and a PhD in Information Systems got from Universidade Nova, Lisbon.

In 2019 I co-founded a start-up, D/Vision Lab, that is mostly focused on dataviz and to being a great workplace, but I also worked in quite a few different places as a Software Engineer, Researcher, Teacher, Machine Learning Engineer and Data Scientist.

While I'm not an athlete, I do enjoy sports, swimming in particular; in general, I prefer sports where you have to sustain mild fatigue for a long time instead of pushing hard for a shorter time. I also like hiking and, lately, I'm trying to become a good decent windsurfer.
