I am Prisco, a Software Engineer

I make software most of the time and I really love it. I worked for several successful companies in Telco and Financial sectors. My current Job is in Corvil, the IT data analytics company for business in the Now. I am involved on the design and development of real-time key analytics plugins across a broad range of trading, middleware and enterprise data protocols.

I have a unstoppable curiosity that drive me to learn new methodologies, programming languages and cutting-edge technologies. Lots and lots of books, videos and hundreds of articles. I also love to read about mathematics, physics and computer science. One day I thought it would be nice to have a space for explaining my favorite theories, concepts, and research studies. The result is this blog and all its content. Hope you’ll enjoy it!

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. This I did.

Designing Skills

Solutions to problems have never the same value. The model adopted, time and space complexities, efficiency, scalability and maintainability are key factors in choosing the right solution. I like work on hard problems. I have a strong background in Software design which allows me to face with a variety of data and information and find the best way to summarize all the relevant information in a sensible decision for product.
