TommasoSommarugaJunior Data Scientist
I'm currently at EPFL Lausanne, completing a gateway year before starting the Data Science Master's program. I hold a Bachelor's in Data Science and AI from SUPSI, and I have professional experience building automated systems. I'm passionate about turning data into meaningful insights.
About Me
My Background
During my Bachelor's degree, I worked on various projects including semantic segmentation for road detection, generative models for Fashion-MNIST, IMDB sentiment analysis, and Bayesian analysis of European football leagues. I also developed personal projects like a 3D adventure game in Unity and computer vision applications for robotics. Professionally, I've worked on automated scheduling systems and currently serve as a Software Engineer at EXM, Lugano.
When I'm not coding or analyzing data, I enjoy football, skiing, watersports, videogames, and working on personal programming projects.
