My name is Adriano Fantini; I was born in Belluno, Italy in 1990.
I currently live in Belluno with my partner and our daughter, born in 2010.
My academic background is physics, and I obtained a PhD in Earth Science and Fluid Dynamics in 2019 from the University of Trieste, Italy,
where I trained in climatology, hydrology and data science.
During my academic period I especially enjoyed the technical aspects and challenges of data analysis and of the handling of large climatic simulations on High Performance Computing platforms.
After a few years as a developer and data analyst at Higeco, I am now Software Development Manager at Higeco More.
I love mountaineering, technology, gaming, books and getting my hands dirty with stuff.
I am one of the organisers of the amazing Great Snowball Fight.
