Rausa

I'm a Computer Engineer with a strong interest in artificial intelligence, software engineering and the endless possibilities that technology can offer. I enjoy understanding how things work under the hood and, whenever I can, turning ideas into something tangible.

My curiosity doesn't stop at software. I've always been fascinated by electronics and robotics, and I often build small projects just for the pleasure of making something work — a soil-humidity plant-watering system among them. There's something satisfying about soldering a circuit and watching an idea become a real, working object.

I grew up in a small town in Southern Italy and have lived in Milan for the past five years. Moving from a small town to a big city gave me a different perspective, even if I still feel like a country boy at heart.

Outside of technology, music and literature are a big part of my life: classical music, jazz, Italian singer-songwriters. I play piano and guitar — Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett are among my favourite pianists. One of my favourite books is White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky.

I'm drawn to new ideas and emerging technologies, and I'd like to take my experience abroad, meet new people and work in different environments.

I'm learning JavaScript, TypeScript and React. Rebuilding my own portfolio next to an AI agent lets me see how someone more fluent would structure the same material — and then read the diff instead of just guessing.

The rule I set for myself: nothing ships that I can't explain. Everything built here gets written up, so the point is learning, not delegating.
