Intro
I'm Paolo Coffetti, a software engineer living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Education
I'm very close to a master degree at University of Bergamo, Italy: I've finished all the courses and currently working on my thesis which I'll be defending on June 9.

The thesis is about a project which I temporarily named Moogle (My Own Google). Moogle is a website with a full text search engine for private data: it connects to a user's accounts in Facebook, Twitter, Google (Drive, Gmail, Google Plus) and Dropbox, indexes all her data (only textual information) and provides a private full text search (available only to her). The project is not complete yet, but I'm working hard.

Experience
I've been working in Amsterdam in a small startup company named United Academics since 2010 as web developer. Officially I'm not working for them anymore because I'm 100% focused on my thesis, but from time to time I still help their IT team.

United Academics is a company which aims today to provide an Open Access repository to scientists, but unfortunately is lately facing some financial difficulties. In the last years United Academics was something slightly different and I worked on projects like a printing on demand website (www.print2book.com), a job portal (now offline), a bookstore (now offline), a couple of Wordpress websites (http://www.united-academics.org/magazine/) and more recently an Open Access repository (not online yet). All those projects (apart from the Wordpress ones) were made in Python and Django so I consider myself an expert with those technologies. I'm definitely not a senior cause I still have a lot to learn, but I'm also definitely more than a junior.
