About & projects

This blog is my lil’ public garden, I tend to write about a variety of topics from tech & data to things that fascinate me in any area of knowledge.

I am a physicist by studies and I’ve been working in/with data science/ML/AI since the glorious times it was still uncool. I love science and have this annoying obsession towards finding quantitative explanations for things. You can read some of my thinking and scientific journey in this old post. On the side, I produce hand-drawn data vizzes on various topics, usually lightweight (but not just), which I share here (and there).

Ongoing projects

  • My data stories (hand-drawn data visualisations with storytelling, mostly cheerful themes and curios) are here
  • Askademic - an AI tool (agent) to help you find scientific research, summarise it, get answers, this was done with my friend Bernardo
  • CityBreaking - data analyses and reflections on overtourism, again with Bernardo, it’s a series of blog posts
  • [ITA] Note sul tedesco - A GitBook with my notes on the German grammar, basically the digital version of hand-written ones - this is in development, I slowly add pages to it

I am also a frantic list-maker and quote-collector.

Older projects

  • [under restructuring, though likely it’ll be a slow burn] Tales of Science and Data - notes about data science, ML and stuff in between - this has passed through several phases as a series of Jupyter notebooks, a GitBook, blog posts (which are here) …, I’m thinking what to do with it
