\section{Presentazione}
Frequento il liceo scientifico e nutro un forte interesse verso l'informatica e
la matematica.
Sono interessato principalmente alla matematica e all'informatica.
Mi piace particolarmente ciò che si trova agli estremi: la sicurezza
informatica (low level) e la programmazione funzionale (high level e astratta a
tal punto da diventare matematica).

Suono il pianoforte da oltre dieci anni e di recente ho iniziato a studiare la

I'm Tito, alias "tauroh". I'm a high school student living in Pavia, Italy. I
was born in 2004. I have many more interests than I'm able to pursue and I still
have to decide what to do after high school. Unless I undergo a sudden change in
personality and hobbies, it will be something science-related. I'm quite a geek;
I'm into maths and pretty much everything that has to do with computers. I used
to play the piano regularly until last year but I don't have enough free time to
study music seriously right now.
I'm Tito, alias "tauroh". I'm studying for a bachelor's degree in Maths at the
University of Pavia, in Italy. I'm into maths and pretty much everything that
has to do with computers, except front-end development.
## Maths
I have been fascinated by maths since I was a child, and my parents taught me
where the elegance that some people (like them, and like me) see in mathematics
really resides. Abstraction and formal logic are in my opinion the most advanced
capabilities of the human mind -- the latest that evolution gave us from a
biological perspective. When you get to really appreciate maths, you discover a
brand new world. Unfortunately, that's something that school is not able to
teach -- that's why many people still think that maths is made of formulas,
exercises and grades.

supposed to study a lot of undergraduate mathematics before proceeding with this
areas. I haven't done that (yet); my mathematical background is fragile and
therefore my knowledge is quite fragmented. I would like to study maths with a
more consistent approach. Hopefully, that's what I will do after high school.

team -- I perform much better in the team olympiad, and I don't really put the

## Computer science
Mathematics is hard: it's something I still haven't been able to get around. CS
and programming are easier and that's why I spend a considerable amount of hours
a day playing with my computer. Before examining my interests, I have to stress
that I really happen to hate frontend development and weakly typed programming
languages. This website doesn't depend on 50KB-sized DOM-diffing JavaScript
frameworks and it never will.

it's also good fun.

Hi! I'm Tito Sacchi, alias "tauroh", an Italian high school student trying to
have fun while deciding which of my interests I'm willing to spend more time
on in the forecoming years. I like maths, computers, classical piano,
swimming, electric guitars, hiking, nature photography and a lot of other
things that I'd be glad to share with someone else.
