Andrea Bortolotti

Hello 👋 I am an Energy Engineering ⚙️ student planning to relocate to 🇩🇰.

I am passionate about building applications to solve practical problems. I am self taught in Python and full-stack web development. I manage also my own homelab - now a small chinese minipc - and selfhost on top of it.

Projects #

Compiti Scolastici #

Web portal developed and managed independtly to freely distribute high quality school notes to italian students. Started as a single github repo for chemistry homework, regularly updated for all notes, now it counts almost 500 000 views 🎉. The project is entirely based in Europe (domain, DNS, analytics, hosting) and does not track or profit off users. Sustainability is also a main focus: by employing modern data compression techniques and sustainable hosting, the website places on the top 6% for CO2 emissions. You can read more about it here

Dicotomia Luminosa #

Together with my friend we designed a poster raising awareness about gambling addiction for the artwork competition among students organised by Progetto Prize. We collaborated effectively at all stages of the poster creation, from the shooting to the essay describing the work. At the end, we placed II in our category.

Photography #

Since elementary school i fiddled with portable cameras. First Nintendo DS and old Nokias, then compact, bridge, reflex and now mirrorless cameras. I like taking portraits but for privacy reasons don’t publish them, so you’ll find architecture, abstract, nature photography on bortox.eu.
