## Occupation
### Occupation
I am a biotechnologist. I started working "at the bench", first with biochemistry then with cellular biology. After two years of bench work, I've moved to bioinformatics, and in particular to analysis of microarray data in cancer research studies. My current interests are neuroscience and the application of group testing techniques to genome-wide transcriptomic profiling.
If you look at my Master's degree, you would say I am a biotechnologist with a specialization in pharmacology. However, I've done all but biotechnology since my graduation. I started working "at the bench", first with biochemistry then with cellular biology. I've since then got a Ph.D. in Molecular Medicie and moved to bioinformatics, and I've been involved with the intricacies of data analysis of DNA variation and structure from high throughput parallel sequencing.
I am currently working as a senior scientist in [the Translational Genomics Unit](http://www.marionegri.it/en_US/home/research_en/dipartimenti_en/oncology/cancer_pharmacology/translational_genomic_unit) at the [IRCCS "Mario Negri" Pharmacological Research Institute](http://www.marionegri.it), a research no-profit.
For those interested, [you can view my resume](http://www.dennogumi.org/cv.pdf).
### Free Software
## Free Software
I'm quite involved in Free Software, in particular in [KDE](https://www.kde.org) and (openSUSE)(https://www.opensuse.org), but also to other FOSS projects.
#### KDE contributions
With regards to KDE. I'm a member of the [KDE Community Forums](https://forum.kde.org) administration staff (also known as the "green guys") and I spend most of the time there doing user support in the Plasma 5 and Kontact and PIM sub-forums. Less frequently I contribute patches to KDE software, and even less frequently I write applications myself, such as [Danbooru Client]({{ site.url }}/projects/danbooru-client/).

#### openSUSE contributions
I'm a current member of the community KDE team. While I seldomly do packaging, my main involvement is in handling news, PR and relationships with the rest of the openSUSE community.
