Background

Alessio has an MEng in Computing from Imperial College London. In addition to solid computer engineering foundations, he gained extensive hands-on experience in functional, logic, and object-oriented programming, complexity analysis, and the implementation of assemblers, compilers, and core operating system features. He also took advanced courses in privacy engineering, scalable systems for the cloud, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and high-performance computing. His final year research project, in collaboration with a high-performance hardware provider and the Institute of Cancer Research, investigated optimisation techniques for radiation therapy simulation on FPGA for use in adaptive radiotherapy. While a student, Alessio worked as a software developer at a specialist secure communications company offering military-grade encryption solutions for off-the-shelf devices. Additionally, he worked on the design and implementation of a facial recognition system leveraging open-source deep learning libraries which was then exhibited as part of a durational performance piece at Tate Modern in 2017.

Alessio qualified as a European patent attorney in 2023 whilst working at another major firm and joined Mewburn Ellis in 2024.
