Ciao! I am Alessandro Chiarelli, aka alexcarchiar but I also have a Chinese name, which is 瑞利. I am currently working at Amazon in Madrid as a Software Development Engineer. I hold a SECCLO Master degree in Computer Science with a Major in Cryptography and a Bachelor degree in Computer Engineering. I have studied abroad and moved multiple times, see my education section!

I am Italian originally but I am also familiar with other cultures, in particular the ones of the countries I’ve lived in: France, Spain, China, Finland and Estonia. My first international experience was in high school in France, thanks to AFS. When I started university I moved to Turin where I stayed for a year before moving to China. I stayed there just before the Covid-19 pandemic after which I moved back to Italy. I graduated from my bachelor’s degree in July 2021 and after that I moved to Finland for my first semester of my Master’s degree. I stayed in Finland for only 7 months since I got an internship in Amazon Spain. I left Spain for Estonia for the final year of my Master’s degree. Now I am back to Turin as a software engineer for List, in a position that allows me to merge my passion for finance and computers, as I work with financial institutions.

People say I am a global citizen, and that’s something I definitely like. I love Computer Science and technology in general, I read a lot about these topics as well as economics. My curiosity is probably my greatest asset since it also gives me the will to learn and grow every day.

I am a cryptoenthusiast and investor, both in crypto and non-crypto assets. I co-founded the students’ association “BIT PoliTO” at my former university which focuses on spreading knowledge about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies. My master thesis was about blockchain oracles and their security, in particular for non-financial applications.

I am always looking forward to new challenges, so if you have any… don’t hesitate to contact me!
