Francesca alloatti’s resumé

Who AM I

Hi! My name is Francesca, and, as my name clearly tells, I’m Italian 🍝 and therefore fluent in hand-gesturing 🤌 (a self-assessed C1, I’d dare say).

I also speak English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. I have always felt a strong pull towards languages, so much so that I decided to study Linguistics for my Master degree.

I am also a pragmatic person, that’s why after learning about languages, I asked myself: what if computers could communicate the same way we do? 🤖 And that’s when I pursued a PhD program in Computer Science.

And then... well, I had to start working at some point! Scroll down to see what I have been up to recently ⬇️

Who AM I

I am... a project manager? A learning designer? An editor? Turns out, I am all these things. Check out the different sections to deep dive on my skills.

Project manager

and product owner

In my daily job I manage multidisciplinary teams all along the different phases of a project lifespan (usually following an Agile methodology), and I leverage the ultimate innovations in NLP in order to deliver excellent results - both in terms of the software and content created, as well as in terms of business results.

a few examples

learning designer and language teacher

I have been cultivating a passion for teaching for many years, especially for teaching Italian as a foreign language (L2 or LS). I have taught Italian in France and Portugal, and now I am a volunteer professor in Italy. I am also a learning designer: I am in charge of managing the content production for the e-learning platform maize.PLUS
