ABOUT ME

Hi, I am Paolo, Computer Science Engineer, Photographer, Clarinetist, Startupper, Father, Believer, Passionate, Curious.

_{list of relevant things happened}

Really early (I’m talking about 3rd year high school) I decided to spend my professional life on AI. I was in love with the book of Norvig-Russell and I was sure I’ll change the world. Later, few years later, I built a neural network to implement a cricket behaviour, on a robot cricket moving in a gray dusty lab (article). I was on the trail!

Then I changed my mind on what I was in love, less IA, more control systems. You can control anything, you can make everything out of code. And then I got a MSc in computer science engineer. So I stepped from the Student level, to the Graduate level. The next day I became Unemployed. Uhuh.

Then 2005, May I started working as an IT consultant (Accenture), between Milan and Padua Venice. I missed the sun, so I quit that awesome job and I moved to the very south.

There, 2006,  I had fun in marketing, sales, business plans (Engineering).

2007, I decided to turn myself to the amazing world of Data Analysis. I moved from South to North again. I had less fun in a real estate dep (Antonveneta), working on data analysis and financial plans.

2008, I met an awesome korean creature, and three months later I got married. I also started playing clarinet.

2009, I became for the first time dad. And I discovered I always was and be Protestant.

2010, We moved to Rome and since then my day job is something I enjoy: bank customer data analysis and product campaign/strategies plan.

I begun my path to be an enterpreneur: I had an Idea, I started a group of founders, Late night skyping, Failing slowly because too big idea/too big project to start. No MVP.

I also started my photographer journey, with a Nikon DSLR, here: Postmodernview on 500px

2011, I became for the second time dad. And the same day I bought and wrote the very first post of my new bloggin story, here at The Ugly Truth: READ my LEAN STRATEGY

2012, Exploring art in many forms, I started now with painting here: Art from ZERO to Hundred – “A story about a guy who didn’t know a fruck about drawing, colors, lines and brush”, but I’m planning to create some sculpture soon in the future, something with old material recycled from bins, some metal maybe.

Maker CALL: I resumed my electronic devices, and I bought online a little Arduino, to restart building THINGS, live things. Here the group Hopen

Design CALL: I’m reading, studying, weeping over so many interesting books teaching Design, UI, UX. Teaching how to make people HAPPY with a product. That’s the ultimate goal. As a reference look here: Bootstrapping Design, and also read my first post

_{And I bought in Camden Town a nice real faked trumpet. It’s not me, it’s the trumpet that doesn’t work. I’m sure.}

For now I’m really into a big project:CAP rapido
