Hey there,

I'm **Alessandro Pogliaghi** and I was born and raised a little bit outside Milan (northern 🇮🇹).

Since very early on, I already did figured out that was deeply interested and fascinated by computers (mainly on the _software_ side)
and wanted to deeply understand how they worked.

I hold a BSc. in CS and a MSc. in Financial Technology and Computing Engineering, which combined my two passions of Software Development and its impact on the financial world ([MM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_maker), [HFTs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-frequency_trading), _etc..._)

Currently, <a href="https://posthog.com/" class="posthog">PostHog</a> {{< logo f_name="posthog" >}} is subscribed to my monthly fee 😄 but I am always up for a chat about interesting projects and opportunities, feel free to contact me!

## My Interests

- ##### Career-oriented

  - Lately I have worked a lot with **Python** (automation, AI/ML and backend) and **Java** but I am interested in learning more about

    - **Go**, **Rust**, **OCaml** and some other stuff 👀

    I have worked and played around with many more languages and I am always open to really exciting opportunities!

  - I would gladly be willing to work for companies that **solve today's problems with Software**, there are a ton of areas in which software already has or could have an impact. This may sound a bit 🧀, but that's my long-term plan!
  - Automating the hell out of tedious or manual tasks, AI wherever it makes _sense_
  - DevOps, I believe that a lot of promising services are popping up and may improve the situation that we see in the industry (looking at you CF/TF 😩)
  - Reverse Engineering and analysis of binaries (**x86**, **arm64**)
  - Interested in modern Payments Solutions and the _Fintech_ sector as a whole

- ##### Other

  - Love to drive 🚘

  - Love to cook 👨🏻‍🍳 and try out new things

  - Gooner {{< logo f_name="arsenal" >}} & Boston Celtics {{< logo f_name="celtics" >}} supporter

  - Excited about technologies that could help in the green transition
