1 year 2 monthsI'm Gabriele Patrizi and I've obtained Master Degree in “Management and Automation Engineering” at Università degli Studi Roma Tre, with a mark 106/110 on May of 2010, later a Master in “Analysis and Modelling of Data and Processes: method and models” at Università degli Studi di Roma UnitelmaSapienza, with a mark 108/110 on September of 2022. I speak Italian, Portuguese (basic), Spanish and English because I did Erasmus experience in Valencia in 2009 and another abroad experience in London, for 2 months, in 2010 during the summer.
I'm a hard worker, precise and determined, with a great intellectual curiosity. I like working in tuning with the team but I can also work alone, in the data area (as engineer and analyst). I want to learn new things every day, in a dynamic environment, but always thinking to obtain the goal in the best possible way, managing own resources and personal time, with a focus on every part of a full process.
I started working since 2010, changing industries (automotive, public industry, internet, telecommunications, market research, finance) and technologies (SAS, SQL Server, MySQL, Talend, Power BI, QlikView, Sap BO, Python, Cloudera), in the data field. I have had the pleasure to work for SAS Institute, Format Business Solutions (as consultant), ALD Automotive, Neomobile, GN Research (Teleperformance), Italfondiario, Credito Fondiario, Gruppo Bancario Cooperativo Iccrea e Cassa Depositi e Prestiti. In addition working as Adjunct Professor in “Big Data Analytics Professionals” for the MBA dispensed by Rome Business School, I actually work as Expert Data Scientist for Corte dei conti.
