About Gennaro

Backend software engineer in Copenhagen, currently studying Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen after three years building data platforms, internal tools, and release automation.

About

I'm a software engineer based in Copenhagen, currently doing an MSc in Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen. Before that, I spent about three years working on backend systems, data pipelines, release automation, and internal tools. My interests sit around reliability: clear APIs, database performance, observable systems, and deployments that become routine instead of dramatic. Lately I've also been studying reinforcement learning and thinking about how research ideas become software people can use. Outside of work and study, I'm usually hiking, making music, or trying to get better at the violin.

Contact

I'm open to backend, platform, and ML infrastructure work in Copenhagen or remote across the EU. Freelance projects can also be a good fit while I'm studying. If you want to reach out, email is easiest. A short note about the role, project, or system you're working on is enough.
