Gabriel Tavernini

I am a Software Engineer at Google based in Zürich. I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science with distinction from ETH Zürich (GPA: 5.87/6) with a focus on Machine Intelligence and Software Systems, alongside a B.Sc. from Politecnico di Milano (110 cum Laude).

My interests span across Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Software Systems. I have experience working at industry leaders including Databricks and Amazon, where I developed expertise in building scalable systems and ML infrastructure.
