Hello everyone! I'm Alessandro Pignataro, but feel free to call me Ale. I'm currently majoring in Mathematics and Data Science, driven by a deep curiosity to understand how the world works and the desire to find the best frameworks for analyzing it. My academic journey is fueled by a passion for problem-solving, and I love channeling this into building innovative and challenging projects.

I became a Learning Assistant to take on a new challenge that pushes the boundaries of my knowledge in data structures. I thrive in environments that demand growth, and this role seemed like the perfect opportunity to do just that.

Outside the classroom, I'm all about staying active. I'm into all kinds of sports, but kite surfing and swimming are my true passions. Kite surfing lets me push myself to jump higher, while swimming is where I strive to constantly improve my speed. Both challenge me to go beyond my limits, just like in my academic and professional pursuits.
