Leonardo Giordani

Born in 1977 together with Star Wars, bash, Apple ][, Dire Straits, The Silmarillion, and many other great things.

I started coding in April 1987 on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum. I then moved to MS-DOS PCs and in 1996 I started using Linux and became interested in operating system internals. I love software architectures, algorithms, mathematics and cryptography.

I’m mainly interested in open source software. I like both the theoretical and practical aspects of computer science.

I am currently working as a contractor DevOps and Python developer while I design a DevOps bootcamp that I will run in London from October 2022.

From 2013 I blog some technical thoughts at http://thedigitalcatonline.com.

In 2018 I published the free book “Clean Architectures in Python” http://bit.ly/getpycabook

Clean Architectures in Python
Leonardo Giordani

A brief talk that introduces software developers to the idea of "clean architecture" and discusses how to reduce coupling between parts of a software system through well-known strategies such as abstraction and inversion of control.
