About — in the speaker's own words
Who am I?
I'm a scientific researcher with a PhD in astroparticle physics at the Heidelberg University with a strong will to get out of academia – but in my life I worked many jobs and each of them changed me somehow. I gave up trying to solve the puzzle.
What do I like?
I'm passionate about coding, gaming and cats – well, about many other things, actually. For a cat-loving nerd, I'm surprisingly at ease among people, and on a stage.
What makes me comfortable?
If it's about working, kind of everything? Be it coding (mainly Python, Julia, C++, Fortran, IDL, SQL), developing hardware prototypes, scouting for a publishing house, or working in a bookshop. If it's about life – listening to people talking at ease, and entertain them.
What makes me uncomfortable?
People saying that the AI will bring the world to an end. I'm positive that if it happens, it's more likely it'll be because of them rather than the AI.
Anything else?
I'm Italian, but it's not my fault.
