Welcome
A bit about me
I'm a software engineer and technical leader, mostly working with Python for high-performance, high-scalability SaaS applications, data engineering, open source, and, more recently, AI. I'm also a father of two, based in Torino, Italy.
I've been leading software development teams for more than 20 years and, surprisingly, Software Development remains my main passion.
Work and experience
I currently work as a Principal Software Engineer at 
Posit,
where I help create impactful projects for the Python ecosystem, including
Orbital for MachineLearning and NeuralNetworks.
Previously, I was Senior Director of Open Source Engineering at
Voltron Data,
where I coordinated contributions to and maintenance of core data-engineering and data-analytics projects such as
Apache Arrow, Ibis, and Substrait.
Over the years, I've also founded the Python company
AXANT.it,
become a shareholder in 
Mamazen Startup Studio,
and been a founding member of the 
IH1 investment holding.
I've also advised several startups and invested in some of them as an angel investor,
most recently in the 
Reboot Initiative.
I also offer consulting services on Python, Data Engineering, and Agentic Engineering through my own consulting company. You can contact me at .
Python and Opensource
Python is also a big part of what I do outside of work. I've contributed to some major Python projects you may have used or heard of, including PyArrow and TurboGears.
I've written Python-related books, spoken at conferences around Europe, appeared as a guest on several online shows about Software Engineering, and maintain several OpenSource projects.
I'm also exploring AI for software development, with projects like WorkDash and ProbeDev for probe-driven development, as described in my article Stop Planning, Start Probing and Evolving.
I also mix my interests in data engineering and Python in the Monthly Python Data Engineering newsletter.
This is my personal website. If you're looking for my technical writing, have a look at my
Substack Blog.
For my fun projects, you're probably looking for amol.inli.me
or aminext.cc.
