Davide is an experienced computer scientist graduated in Robotics, Systems, and Control at ETH Zürich. He conducted AI research and achieved his first scientific publication on “Conceptual Knowledge Management”. Before returning to Switzerland and joining Mirai Solutions, he worked in Italy and Belgium gathering and analyzing large amounts of data, and contributing to a cyber-risk quantification platform. His expertise lies in the design & development of data-oriented full-stack applications, where he can put into practice his passion for DevOps. He develops in Python and R and enjoys JavaScript/Typescript. Davide enjoys reading and running, and if that wasn’t extremely injury-prone, he’d surely optimize and try do both at the same time.
