i'm alessio, a software engineer and a student of computer science and engineering at politecnico di milano.
※ computer science: i'm particularly interested in systems, algorithms and theoretical computer science. recently i've been diving deeper into processor architectures and low-level programming. i'm also very curious about many aspects of artificial intelligence, which is my master's specialization. ※ reading and rss: hacker news, rss feeds, independent blogs and long-form essays. i enjoy stumbling upon interesting ideas and reading different perspectives. ※ obsidian: my personal knowledge base and operating system. i run a collection of automations to keep my progress up to date. it is also the house for my spaced repetition flashcards. ※ music: i'm always looking for new artists and genres to explore. i love live music and i have a small collection of vinyl. my favorite genres are hip-hop (in particular cloud rap, rage and digicore), electronic (in particular witch house), rock (in particular post rock and shoegaze) and pop (in particular dream pop and electropop). ※ videogames: i used to be a hardcore videogamer but now, having less and less time, i'm becoming an external spectator. my favorite games are persona 5, the legend of zelda: breath of the wild, clair obscur: expedition 33 and pokémon ruby/sapphire/emerald.
album
caught my attention with the caroline polachek and justice features, belgian singer angèle delivers the kind of atmosphere i've been drawn to in the recent years. not flawless, but highly recommended for anyone interested in the intersection between electronic music and female vocals.
