Projects

Most of my projects can be found on GitHub:

• lineup.quest: an overview of music festivals in Switzerland.
• patterns: a mobile and web app that helps you track patterns between time series.
• timelangs: a small web app about the history of programming languages.
• tflyrics: a Python package that allows you to easily select lyrics by specific artists from the genius.com database of song lyrics, and train a recurrent network to generate text that sounds similar to those lyrics.
• An implementation of Conway's Game of Life in JavaScript: watch an ecosystem of pixelated creatures evolve in your browser.
• Machine Lambda: a purely functional Haskell implementation of stochastic gradient descent for deep feed-forward neural networks.
• DBNsim: a web app that allows you to design, train, and analyse a Deep Belief Network (DBN) from your browser. A DBN is a stack of Restricted Boltzmann Machines.
• XHTML-to-Latex: an XSLT template that turns XHTML pages into a Latex document.
• sweki (in Italian): my notes from the 2016/2017 course on Software Engineering by prof. Vardanega at the University of Padova.
• SWEdesigner (in Italian): a web app that allows to generate a Java program by drawing diagrams.

About

I grew up in Padova, a city in northern Italy. I studied Computer Science in Padova, then Neural Systems and Computation in Zurich.

My Master's and Bachelor's theses can be downloaded here:

• Master's thesis (PDF)
• Bachelor's thesis (PDF, in Italian)

I worked as a software engineer at OnlineDoctor, a telemedicine app for dermatology. There I worked on the entire software stack, albeit with particular interest in DevOps.

I currently work as a software engineer at Noimos. We develop several machine learning applications to automate the handling of insurance claims for cars. Here I work specifically on serving ML models developed by the team, bridging the gap between developing and serving these models, and general DevOps-related topics.

My interests include music, software, history and languages.

Notes

Here are some notes that I'd like to share:

• Plato for Software Engineers
• State
• Searching for unbiased news in the 2020s
• The Enthusiastic Historian's Approach to Terraform and Cloud Providers
• Task Distribution vs. Data Distribution

Recipes

Here are some recipes that I don't want to forget:

• Home-made pizza

Pronunciation

The IPA encoding of my name is /ˈdʒordʒo dʒuf'fre/.
