Soft Skills

During my studies I completed a lot of different projects either by myself or in a group (both small and large groups). This had taught me how to efficiently collaborate with colleagues, and how to organize and coordinate work during development. I have learnt how to switch easily from different environments and programming languages. Also by working alone I improved my autonomy on problem solving and on researching new things by myself.

I constantly keep myself updated by reading news and latest paper about technology and by attending new courses about many different thematic areas.

Experience has also given to me these skills:

• Distance-working / Smartworking with structured tools to manage both individual and team work (es. Trello, Notion, Discord, GitHub, Asana).
• Remote working organization
• Structure group work in Kanban style
• Great care for details
• Critical skills
• Precise organization and time management
• Public speaking, talks and presentations
• Public relations
• Enthusiastic, positive and driven attitude
• Ability to develop and manage project schedules

I also attended a specific course about soft skills (see my certificate), that taught me the importance of people and groups management, critical thinking and creativity, negotiation, coordination with others, judgment and decision making in any work environment.

I’m also a huge reader and I like to share my books and journals!

Check my 📗personal reading list, were you can find all the books I read in my free time, mostly about personal growth, AI and buddhism.

There also a 🎓university reading list where I collected all the books I used during my MSc journey, for preparing exams building projects, and “approfondire” concepts.

Both these libraries are made using Notion app. Enjoy!✌🏻
