I received a PhD in Italian literature from Johns Hopkins University in 2017, after which I worked as an academic researcher in the US, France, and Germany until 2020. During my time in academia I collaborated on several digital humanities projects including The Archaeology of Reading and Literary Polemics of the Renaissance, both of which focused on novel approaches to engaging with pre-modern books through digital tools. Since then I've shifted towards a career more firmly rooted in the field of software development. From January to March 2021 I took part in Le Wagon's Web Development Bootcamp in Munich, which introduced me to the fun of using Ruby on Rails. After that I participated in a batch at the Recurse Center from May to August 2021, where I then discovered the joys of compilers and low-level programming. At the moment I'm working as a software engineer at CrowdStrike.
