About

I am a polyhedric data scientist who had the opportunity of working on projects within different sectors - ranging from neurobiology to energy and automotive&mobility - and of managing expectations of different stakeholders. Over the past 10+ years, I developed technical and communication skills that today allow me to navigate in a comfortable way all steps of data related projects: from getting (and helping defining) requirements from project managers, to organizing the work of IT developers and collaborating with them, to presenting results in a clear and captivating fashion. My academic background provided me with a scientifically rigorous mindset that accompanies me whenever I approach something new.
