Alessandro B.

I am a passionate software engineer with a strong will to learn and improve myself continuously across a wide range of different areas.
My focus and favourite work would be in R&D on information retrieval, information extraction, natural language processing and machine learning with a big emphasis on data structures, algorithms and probability theory.

Experience with a great variety of clients has taught me to be a proficient, professional consultant and allowed me to develop excellent interpersonal skills.

I have a strong inclination for teaching, a passion which grew during my academic career where I tutored students and taught Summer preparation courses at the high school level. This interest continued to grow after University as I taught specific technical topics (mostly search related) to customers.

And last but not least I'm a Beach Volleyball player, Sport Event organizer in my home town and a crazy snowboarder.

Specialties: Semantic Search Engines, Architectural & Design patterns, Java designer & developer, Data Extraction from web sites, Natural Language Processing, XML
