My face

Giacomo Bersani

Computer Science graduate, currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Informatics in a double degree at USI 🇨🇭 and UniMiB 🇮🇹.
I am passionate about software development and systems administration. I am currently working on a thesis on the simulation of datacenter network protocols.
Recently I have also been getting involved in Universal Blue, by contributing to their user count visualizations.

Stuff I worked on

Master thesis

My master thesis is on the topic of large-scale simulations of low-jitter datacenter protocols. I used OMNeT++ to simulate OpenFlow networks.

Bachelor thesis

"The value of consent in the GDPR's web" was my Bachelor's thesis. It involved the creation of a Pyhon spider to scrape websites' privacy policies and a Jupyter notebook to analyse data.

Data quality analysis

I did a little project studying the effects of data quality on the performance of machine learning algorithms using Python. This was done as part of a course on Data Architectures.

Universal Blue's countme

I made some contributions to Universal Blue's user count visualizations. The generated graphs are shown on the project's website.

SmartAngler fishing app

For the Mobile and Wearable Computing course, another student and I developed a mobile app for Android using Java.

Arduino smart car park

For the Edge Computing in the IoT course, I developed a smart car park using Arduino alongside three other students. We used proximity sensors, LEDs, and an OLED display to create the final demo.

Formula 1 Dashboard

Three other students and I created a dashboard to visualize some Formula 1 data as part of the Visual Analytics course. We used Python, Bokeh, and Polars.

Portfolio website

As an excuse to learn some JS/TS and React, I built this simple portfolio website. I hope you like it!
