Andrea Cuttone is a software engineer with 14 years of experience building resilient, cloud-native systems for companies like Microsoft, Booking.com and G-Research. He combines a PhD in Computer Science—where he developed machine learning pipelines and geovisualization tools from mobile phone data—with hands-on backend engineering in .NET, Service Fabric and Azure. At Microsoft he architected core components for Dynamics 365 Marketing including data persistence, migration and fault-tolerance, and at Booking.com he designed hybrid cloud infrastructure and CI/CD automation. He is also the author and principal contributor of geoplotlib, an open-source Python toolbox for geographic visualization that grew from his academic work. Based in London, Andrea blends research-grade data science instincts with production-grade distributed systems design, often surfacing visualization-driven insights from behavioral datasets.
