About Me¶
I’m Andrea Siotto — a historian, geospatial analyst, and developer working at the intersection of historical research, spatial data, and modern automation tools.
I hold a PhD in Military and European History, History of Technology, and Digital History, and I’ve worked extensively with historical archives, mapping systems, and software development to research complex historical events. I love to collect, clean, organize, structure, and analyze historical and geospatial datasets.
