"Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won’t come in." - Alan Alda (but I assumed it was Bertrand Russell)
About me
I'm an applied scientist in natural language processing and a veteran WMF grantee. Pour a cup of innate advocacy for open knowledge, blend with a pinch of software engineering skills, and mix with a splash of deep affection for human and machine languages. There you go: a native speaker of Italian and Python, passionate traveler, all-around-the-world food explorer, outdoor sports tester.
My work
I help both humans and machines understand data, that's why the Structured Content team sounds like a perfect fit.
