About Luca

Data Scientist & Engineer with 7 years of experience, graduate of EPFL (Bachelor's and Master's degrees in computer science).

My career has led me to work with a wide range of technologies in data science and machine learning: classic models (neural networks, random forests, regressions), as well as more recent systems based on LLMs (GPT, Claude), including RAG architectures and vector database integration.

I am proficient in the entire data pipeline: data collection and structuring, cleaning and validation, model training, production deployment, monitoring, and visualization.

I have gained experience in several sectors, including finance, e-learning, and biotech, in environments ranging from startups to more established structures.

Fluent in French and English, with a basic knowledge of German and Italian.
