Hello there! 👋 I’m Nicholas Rasi
Just a brief recap…
I graduated in Computer Science and Engineering at Polytechnic University of Milan (PoliMI) with my MS thesis TensorFlow Microservices with Quality of Service Guarantees.
After the graduation, I had the great opportunity to work at PoliMI, as a research assistant (DEIB department), on a project about the design, implementation and maintenance of microservices applications. At the same time, I have developed websites and web applications for several clients and created open source projects. My projects are visible on the projects page.
My main areas of interest are microservices, serverless, software architectures, containers and orchestrators, cloud automation and IaaC. However, I like to study and experiment with new technologies

Work Experiences
Research Assistant at Polytechnic University of Milan (DEIB department)
During the research activity I have been involved on various projects. In particular, I studied, designed and created prototypes for the development, management and execution of complex and adaptive software systems, created as This experience allowed me to learn and test different technologies. I contributed, together with my colleagues, to the writing and revision of scientific papers. This allowed me to improve my communication skills, acquire rigor and scientific method. During this experience I worked 100% remotely. In particular, I worked on:
- Machine learning inference with heterogeneous hardware
- Benchmark of cloud virtual machines performances and variability
- Containers
- Federated learning
Used tools: Kubernetes, Docker, Container, Ansible, Terraform, Cloud Provider, GIT, Bash, TensorFlow, Slurm, Pandas, Plotly.
Web Developer
I have been involved in the design, development and management of websites, e-commerce, web applications for various clients. Here are some collaborations: contractnetwork.it, lememoire.it, vernisse.it, aroundwater.it, guestmagazine.it, lorenzonoe.com, sdgwedding.it, adven.it, hotelmag.it. During the period 2011-2014 I worked at Vagamondo (Verbania) as an IT systems technician, for hardware maintenance, for the development and management of the site and the design of advertising.
Used tools: HTML/CSS, Bootstrap, Javascript, WordPress, MySQL, Shopify, ExpressJS, React, PHP, Photoshop.
Moreover…
I’m keen on video making and screen printing on organic tshirts. In my spare time I like to read books and articles (especially non-fiction ones, about self-development).
