I am Italian and I currently live in the Netherlands. I graduated in Master’s Degree Computer Engineering - Embedded and Control Systems at the University of Pavia in 2017. Even if my university career was mainly focused on Embedded Systems, I got passionate about Python, SQL and how to use data to solve problems so I decided to completely change my working field approaching data engineering and data science. After working some years as an employee as a Technical Consultant and as a Data Engineer I decided to start working exclusively as a remote independent contractor/freelancer. 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.
