Gianpaolo Croce

My name is Gianpaolo Croce, and I am a recent graduate in Computer Science from the University of Bari, Italy. I bring a unique blend of technical expertise, cultural engagement, and communication skills developed through both academic and volunteer experiences. My studies culminated in a thesis focused on the development of an AI-powered assistant for recruiters, utilizing Python, Django, and clustering techniques. This project exemplifies my passion for artificial intelligence and my ability to apply programming skills to solve real-world problems.

Alongside my academic path, I’ve been actively involved in the cultural and tourism sector through my long-term collaboration with the Pro Loco association of Sannicandro di Bari. Since 2018, I have taken on multiple roles within the organization, starting as a front-office volunteer guiding tourists in both Italian and English, and supporting the organization of local events. I later served as a Social Media Manager, where I was responsible for content creation, website development using Blogger, and the promotion of regional projects and historical events through Instagram and Facebook campaigns.

My service as a Universal Civil Service Operator and later as a Board Member and Local Project Operator at Pro Loco allowed me to coordinate cultural initiatives and mentor new volunteers. These experiences sharpened my project management and leadership abilities, enriching my capacity for teamwork and public engagement.

More recently, I have expanded my technical profile through a variety of training experiences, including participation in the MasterZxSolana bootcamp, multiple SQL and help desk clusters with ATON S.p.A., and a university internship at Frankhood. In May 2024, I also contributed as an AI Prompt Evaluator for Outlier AI, further strengthening my analytical and English-language skills.

My technical competencies cover a wide range of languages and tools, including Python, Java, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, SQL, C++, Django, PHP, Git, WordPress, and basic AI/ML. I also possess strong digital communication skills, with a background in SEO and content management across platforms.

Fluent in English at a C2 level and an Italian native speaker, I combine excellent communication abilities with a strong sense of initiative, adaptability, and problem solving. Whether in front of a classroom, a team meeting, or a coding terminal, I bring enthusiasm and precision to every task.

With a versatile background and a passion for learning, I am eager to contribute to innovative projects and continue growing as a digital professional.
