I'm Giovanni Minelli, welcome to my GitHub page!

I'm a software developer with a passion for coding and exploring new technologies. I recently graduated with a master's degree in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Bologna, with a specific focus on Machine Vision and Reinforcement Learning.

My interest in AI research extends to the study of multijoint embedding space, perception and vision applied to robotics. I find the field fascinating, also for their connections with neuroscience and I'm looking forward to explore and contribute to its development.

I also try to keep up with research by participating in ML reading groups and contributing to opensource communities such as RL communities. You can find my works here or on johnminelli.it in a tidier format.

I've always been told to learn different things because you never know when they might come in handy, so I've gained some experience in many topics and I think this is very helpful in being more flexible in life and in the tech world. Over the years I experienced the field of mechanical industry with CNC machines 2.5/3 axes, electrical hobby including components soldering, and play around with Arduino/Adafruit/Raspberry (check out my repositories on IoT, those are part of my thesis for which I collaborated with an Eclipse foundation development team (y)). I found myself very interested in 3D modeling with even basic experiments in Unity3D. Crypto/blockchain follower (just the technology behind it) since early 2016 and supporter of decentralized opensource solutions.

I really like the hardware and the architectural side of a computer but being the code development more accessible and straightforward for a kid I embraced this world where elegance and order reigns (...okay, we all try at our best 🙂).
Just to name a few languages (of the many I've experimented with) I really enjoy writing mobile apps in Kotlin but today I'm fully deep into Machine Learning and AI integrations in Python (Keras, TF, Pytorch, Numpy, Scikit-Learn, OpenCV, ...).

I'm a big believer of the "mens sana in corpore sano" creed, I love cinema and the whole 'making of' industry behind it (that's also why computer vision is so appealing to me)

I'm always looking for new challenges, so feel free to leave questions or suggestions and, please don't hesitate to contact me. Have fun!
