Paolo Tricerri is a Senior Software Engineer based in Manchester with a PhD in Computational and Applied Mathematics and over a decade of experience turning mathematical models into production-grade software. He blends deep numerical and optimisation expertise with practical engineering—shipping C++, Python and R solutions from Monte Carlo and finite-element research tools to large-scale machine learning and optimisation libraries at dunnhumby and Arm. Paolo has led end-to-end projects that delivered measurable business impact (e.g., forecasting ~15% YoY profit uplift for retail promotions) while cutting computation times by half through matrix/block optimisations. Comfortable mentoring teams and coordinating cross-functional delivery, he drives adoption of agile practices and translates complex research into client-ready products. An analytical thinker who regularly bridges academic rigor and industry needs, he quietly combines research pedigree with hands-on library and systems development.
