Welcome!
My name's Giacomo, I'm 27 and I'm a Computer Science graduate at the University of L'Aquila, Italy
Academic Background
I studied Computer Science at the University of L'Aquila and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in December 2021. I then continued my studies for a Master's degree in Advanced Software Engineering, and I graduated in summer of 2024 summa cum laude. My master's thesis focuses on the performance analysis of the current free-threading build of CPython, which is cutting-edge research crucial for the future of Python development.
Coding
As a Computer Science graduate, my main interest is in front-end development. Thus, I'm mainly focused on Web development and Mobile development (Kotlin, SwiftUI), since I enjoy the process of creating user interfaces and the graphical side of it. Go ahead to see some of the projects I worked on.
Lofi Pomodoro Timer
Very simple pomodoro timer with a built-in lofi hip-hop radio from Lofi Girl Technologies: HTML5, CSS, Javascript (JQuery, Easytimer library)
3D Printing
I've discovered 3D printing several years ago and after buying my first printer (Creality Ender 3) I've become more and more passionate about it. It's an incredibly powerful technology since it allows you to basically go from a virtual 3D model to a solid object in a matter of hours. It's great for prototyping!
Astronomy
Some years ago my uncle gave me a telescope (Skywatcher 130/900) and since then I've spent dozens of hours looking at the nightsky, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and so on.
You can find some astro-photos on my Instagram page.
Photography
I've become very interested in photography a few years ago, I started with my smartphone (iPhone 5c, now iPhone 12 mini), then I moved to an analog camera (Yashica FX-3). Recently I made the big step and purchased a Fujifilm X-T100. I really like the feel and colors of film, but I also enjoy the convenience of digital photography.
My Portfolio
These are my favourites among the pictures I shot, you can find all of them and more on my Instagram page.
