Hi! I'm Silvio Angelo Baratto Roldan - yes, double surname, dual nationality, double espresso in the morning. Spanish mother, Italian father: I speak both languages fluently and gesture twice the European average.
I started studying electronic engineering with dreams of working at Tesla. Small problem: circuits and I were as compatible as vim and emacs. But when I discovered I was way better with computers, I realized my destiny was bits, not volts. Plot twist: now I program AI that could drive those Teslas.
Post-bachelor's, total burnout. Solution? Go work at Luxottica (because nothing says "rest" like managing a team of 5 suppliers and implementing AGVs in production). There I discovered I could make Naive Bayes coexist with logistics and that predicting production problems was more fun than solving them. Bonus: I learned that managing people is like debugging, but with more coffee and less Stack Overflow.
Recovered from burnout, I returned to university for my master's in Data Science. I got so passionate about deep learning that I created my own PyTorch library (stockpy) - because apparently I didn't have enough problems in my life. From there, the addiction to side projects became chronic.
I wanted to become a quant. I built a portfolio optimizer in Streamlit. The trauma was so severe that I'm now an evangelist for Angular + FastAPI. Lesson learned: software architecture is like pasta - if you do it badly, everyone notices.
8 months in Frankfurt developing LLM solutions to standardize financial datasets and analyze sentiment. I learned that "regulatory reporting" is the fancy way of saying "turning Excel into something usable." I created Python libraries for FinREP while discussing macroeconomics with Europe's brightest minds.
In less than a year I've:
Python, FastAPI, Flask, LlamaIndex, BAML
Angular, React, Tailwind CSS
RAG Systems, NLP, LLM, PyTorch
Docker, Azure, CI/CD
If it exists, I've probably queried it
My goal is simple: become the best technician on the market. And yes, get rich too - at least enough to buy that Tesla I never designed.
[P.S.] If you're looking for someone who transforms ambitious ideas into production-ready code, manages teams without losing their sanity, and does all this while telling terrible jokes about Python... here I am!
