About me
Hey, I'm Francesco an Italian software developer.
I currently live near Milan, in the north of Italy. I was weaned as a software developer on school, starting with my first computer, an old Toshiba laptop my grandfather left me when I was young. I've also spent significant time writing PHP, Javascript and Java code in personal and/or University projects. Currently learning Python and System Design in my free time.
I have a particular interest in the human side of computers and the ways we interact with them. They are fascinating machines, but they have many implications that we often tend to forget.
Currently I'm a third year CS student and I will graduate this year. Actively searching for a prestigious internship.
Why do you blog?
To get better at expressing toughts, feeling and writing. But also because I felt the need to track all of my progress in software development - whatever topic I'm working on. Lastly I think that researching things I find interesting and then re-elaborate on them can help give me more clarity in thoughts.
In this blog I'm going to publish tech, coding, finance, investing and current events posts.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me using the contacts below.
