I’m Lorenzo. I live in London, I grew up in Italy. I’m a big data engineer / programmer / computational scientist / tech geek.
Big Data
I’m a big data engineer with experience in both data analytics and engineering. My main area of interest is the design and development of big data solutions, either in the cloud or in the Hadoop ecosystem.
PhD in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry
During my PhD I have been involved in the development of new computational methods for quantum chemistry. I have extensively used mathematical and computational tools, either commercial HPC software or newly developed in my group. I have learned to proficiently use the Linux environment (Bash) and Python as a scripting language and tasks automation tool, together with Fortran for number crunching and scientific programming.
Here is a list of my publications.
