👋 Hi! I'm Giacomo Pacini
I am a passionate software engineer freshly graduated in the Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering at the University of Pisa, following my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from the same institution.
With a strong foundation in computer engineering, coupled with expertise in deep learning, cloud computing, and data engineering, I am dedicated to leveraging technology to solve complex challenges and drive innovation.
My interests
I love designing and developing things that impact on people’s everyday life. My main skill is logical thinking, and I like to apply it to software engineering problems.
What I’m doing
I recently graduated in Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering with a master’s thesis titled Advanced Query Suggestion for Interactive Text-to-Image Retrieval: A Novel Task and Benchmark, focusing on computer vision and multimodal AI. This November, I will begin my PhD in Multimodal Artificial Intelligence at the University of Pisa.
