Federico Favia
Biography

Hello, I am Federico — Senior Computer Vision | ML Engineer at Technology Data Reply IT, in the Computer Vision Business Unit. Together with my team, I develop innovative solutions for challenging problems of international customers using Deep Learning models, MLOps practices, and Data Science techniques.

Apart from being a tech enthusiast, I am a passionate Italian telecommunications engineer, with a strong focus on visual data and signal processing. In particular, I've specialised in Computer Vision, Image Processing and Deep Learning — but I also enjoy the business and innovation side.

I hold an EIT Joint Double MSc in Visual Computing Communication from KTH Stockholm and the University of Trento, plus a BSc in Information and Communications Engineering also from the University of Trento.

I had two amazing internships at computer vision startups: ManoMotion in Stockholm, and Xtensa Srl in Trento. In my free time I love movies, theatre, and drawing — which is why I also have a design-inspired mind for visual arts. As a side project, I personally created and designed the Engel Logo for a Startup Lab Course at Clab, Trento in 2019.
