Hi traveller! 👋

I am Eduardo Pignatelli, I am an architect by education and a Machine Learning Scientist and Software Engineer by profession. I am interested in Deep Reinforcement Learning, its points of contact with neuropsychology, and its applications to the preservation of nature and the environment.

My trajectory

In my job positions I have:

1. Used Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms to design the acoustics and the structure of human habitats as a Computational Architect
2. Helped design British stadia using machine learning as an Intern in the Stadia Atmosphere team at BuroHappold Engineering
3. Led the agile development of the UI/UX of the BHoM
4. Co-lead the design of the software architecture of the BHoM at BuroHappold Engineering
5. Led the Applied Machine Learning and Decision Making group at BuroHappold Engineering
6. Conducted research in Deep Learning and Computer Vision methods for the physiological modeling of cardiac tissue under arrythmya, at the Imperial College London
7. Started a PhD in Reinforcement Learning to study the Credit Assignment Problem (I know, I am late, I was busy), at UCL.

My hard skills

• Programming is a second nature to me (C# / .NET, Python, C++, Javascript), as well as agile (and SCRUM) development. jax, pytorch, gym, and anything has got to do with RL and DL.
• Data (structured, unstructured, online), databases (noSQL, please) and modelling (Reinforcement Learning, Deep Learning, Physics) yada yada..

My soft skills

• I love working in groups and I work best in those, with a shared long-term objective and individual short-term responsibilities.

• I am passionate, I do something if I believe in it. If I don't believe in it, I don't do it well. If you want the best out of me, tell me why the task is important, and I'll care for it, and dedicate my time, my mind to it.

My interests

• I am interested in psychology (especially development psychology and neuropsychology), neuroscience and the mind (biological, synthetic, if any).

• I teach -- I love teaching -- and I meander through the world -- I love the world -- often looking for quite, spiritual places far from the noise of the worldly life, seeking for that the ancient, lost craftmanships that every culture has.

• My alter ego (one of many) is a cook -- and my send home is a kitchen.
