Cloud Developer / Cloud Engineer

Valerio
Di Zio.

I’m Valerio, a Cloud Developer working on Google Cloud, with an approach centred on requirements analysis and dialogue with the client. I develop mainly in Python, adopting other languages when the project requires it.

In 2025 I graduated with honours from the University of Bologna, with an MSc in Computer Science and Engineering. My thesis, dedicated to fairness in machine learning, had a concrete outcome: the library I worked on was used in the European AEQUITAS project. Cloud architecture and artificial intelligence remain the two areas I’m most curious about, and that I continue to study.

Outside work, I divide my time between cooking, video games and collecting, without forgetting physical activity and friends.

Cloud Developer / IT Consultant

  • I create Google Cloud solutions based on clients’ needs, whatever they may be: from gathering requirements to evaluating POCs and architecture choices, through to development.
  • I develop services for serverless applications, data processing and cloud integrations, mainly in Python and FastAPI but also in Go and other languages, depending on what each project requires.
  • I also contribute to CI/CD, IAM, monitoring, logging, troubleshooting and technical support.

IT Trainer

I delivered four courses to very different groups: basic Excel for school staff, LEGO Mindstorms robotics for a middle school class, and Snap! programming for two primary school classes. It taught me to explain technology to people starting from zero.

Fairness in machine learning

Python · Machine learning fairness

For my MSc thesis I worked on a Python library that helps reduce bias in machine learning models, using fairness techniques in pre-processing and in-processing. My contribution was integrating and improving the existing implementation.

The library was used in the European AEQUITAS project, and my name appears among the contributors of one of the project’s research datasets on Zenodo.

User service

In a group project, I took care of the microservice that handles user registration and profiles: hexagonal architecture, automated tests and a contribution to the CI/CD pipeline.
