About Me
My name is Christian Di Lorenzo. I am a highly-driven software practitioner with experience in data science and software technology spaces from cloud-native machine learning to full-stack web apps and native iOS programming. Combining my formal training in data science and software engineering with a passion for domain expertise, I have played critical roles in pushing the boundaries of precision medicine, giving companies scalable, proactive security, and developing products from scratch for customers in agriculture, aerospace, and even obstacle course racing.
Even while in high school, I graduated as the youngest attendee of the first Software Craftsmanship Academy in 2012 with training across three different environments (iOS, JavaScript, and Ruby on Rails). My parents homeschooled me with a drive for excellence in all things for Christ, tailoring my education towards my strengths and pushing me to be well-rounded in interpersonal as well as technical skills. I completed my B.S. in Computer Science and M.S. in Data Science from Regis University while simultaneously working across sometimes five languages to produce native iOS apps, full-stack web apps, and data analytics for a project company.
I'm not simply content to solve difficult problems. I love to push the possibilities of sustainable software to discover and implement new methodologies such as blending Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Functional Programming (FP) with the best practices of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP).
My expertise resides in a variety of languages, technologies, and methodologies:
- Swift, Objective-C, CoreData, and AFNetworking
- Ruby on Rails
- ReactJS, ES6+, RamdaJS, and NodeJS
- Elixir, Phoenix, and Ecto
- HTML and CSS
- Python and R
- Pandas, Numpy, Keras, Tensorflow, and Matplotlib
- Data Visualization with Python, JavaScript, R, and Tableau
- Statistics, Machine Learning, Category Theory, …
I also contribute to several open source libraries such as filtrex which has over 20,000 downloads. Feel free to check out my GitHub profile. I also love design and am always eager to provide accommodating and thoughtful user experiences.
Aside from technical things, I actively participate in my church as well as play the accordion, piano, or saxophone whenever the opportunity arises. I currently live at home and tutor math to my three younger siblings in their homeschool journey. In my free time, I enjoy ultimate frisbee with family, friends, and even competitive athletes.
