Cloud Developer / Cloud Engineer

Valerio
Di Zio.

I’m a software developer, mainly interested in cloud architecture and artificial intelligence. I currently work on Google Cloud projects: I develop backend services in Python and work with clients to understand their needs and decide how to address them. In 2025, I graduated with honours from the University of Bologna with an MSc in Computer Science and Engineering, with a thesis on fairness in machine learning. Outside work, I enjoy cooking, playing video games and spending time with friends.
