A Bit About Me
My name is Giovanni Cascone, and I am a graduate of Southwest Baptist University, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science in December 2025. I am currently continuing my academic journey by pursuing a Master’s degree in Computer Engineering with specialization in Machine Learning at San José State University.
I'm from Italy, I bring a global perspective and a deep appreciation for different cultures and ways of thinking. During my time at SBU, I had the opportunity to serve as captain of the men’s soccer team for 4 years, an experience that shaped my approach to leadership, teamwork, and staying composed under pressure. These lessons have stayed with me beyond the field and influence how I approach both academic and professional challenges.
Through coursework and hands-on projects, I have developed strong skills in Python, Java, SQL, and full-stack web development using Django, along with experience in databases, operating systems, and computer networks. I am motivated to continue growing as a professional by applying my technical skills and leadership experience to build reliable, real-world software systems.
