Biography

My name is Adriano Fantini; I was born in Belluno, Italy in 1990. I currently live in Belluno with my girlfriend and our daughter, born in 2010.

My academic background is physics, and I obtained a PhD in Earth Science and Fluid Dynamics in 2019 from the University of Trieste, Italy. My areas of expertise are climatology, hydrology and data science; I especially enjoy the technical aspects and challenges of data analysis and of the handling of large climatic simulations, also on High Performance Computing platforms.
I have extensive experience with running and managing Linux systems, including building and maintaining my own small ArchLinux server.

My go-to data analysis language is usually R, and I am also fluent in Python. I am very experienced with:

• data handling (R packages dplyr, readr, tidyr, purrr);
• plotting (ggplot2);
• data visualisation (leaflet, mapview, shiny);
• gridded and sparse spatial data (raster, sf and stars, of which I am a contributor);
• parallel applications (future package framework).

Here you can find a list of my favourite R packages.

While working as a developer at Higeco, I also learned a little bit of C, quite a bit of JavaScript (both backend and frontend) and lots of Lua (scripting, system plugins).

Feel free to contact me for any enquiry, preferably by email.
