### Corporate teaching When I lived in Italy, Verona, together with 🇮🇹 [Penta Formazione](https://www.pentaformazione.it/) I've led several practical hands-on workshops for business professionals: [Intro to ML with Python](https://www.dropbox.com/s/bmrv2rsbgpwbpr9/Scheda_Corso%20PYTHON.pdf?dl=0) and [Intelligent construction workshop](https://www.pentaformazione.it/news/costruzioni-intelligenti-workshop-su-ai_-data-e-agile-bim-25-novembre-2021~172.html) (both in Italian).
