About me

TLDR

I am Bernardino, and I am a JOATMON (Jack Of All Trades, Master of None) from Milan, Italy. I built this site mostly as a personal blog to document my journey as a self-taught 50+ computer programmer. Trained as a philosopher, I work as a management consultant.

Computer stuff

When it comes to computers my main areas of interest lie in AI (I am, by the way, a Google Certified Tensorflow Developer) and functional programming.

I am on the Advisory Board of deepers.ai, an AI education/consulting platform, and in my extra-time I lead the Italian chapter of Omdena, a platform that helps crowdsource ML/AI products for NGOs, impact and ESG projects.

I occasionally write about artificial intelligence and computer science, e.g.:

• How to build a neural network from zero is, well, pretty self-explanatory
• Want to get good at recursion? Here is my advice (basically a review of the wonderful The Little Schemer book).

Personal and varia

I have a beloved son who is currently a student at Bocconi University and I am married with lovely Stephanie. Stephanie and I adopted a Maremma / Retriever Mix named Jonny in 2021 and are very, very, fond of him. I am a voracious music lover, an avid book reader, and a not very good guitar player.
