About

I am Italian and I currently live in Switzerland. I graduated in Master’s Degree Computer Engineering - Embedded and Control Systems at the University of Pavia in 2017.

Although my academic background is rooted in embedded systems and C is my favorite language, I decided to take the data engineering path by focusing on Python and SQL.

After working as Technical Consultant and as Data Engineer in different companies, in 2022 I switched to freelancing.

On my website simonerigoni.net, on Medium and on Blogspot I write posts about personal projects, software development, data engineering and data science related topics.
