Pietro is a software developer and documentary filmmaker. He is passionate about projects that sit at the intersection between software development and video production, both in terms of the growing trend of interactive documentaries but also as tools for making video production and post-production easier, such as [autoEdit](http://pietropassarelli.com/autoEdit.html). While working in broadcast documentaries for BBC and C4 Pietro noticed the convergence of video production and software development and did an MSc in Computer Science at UCL. He then worked as newsroom developer at the Times & Sunday Times where he developed [quickQuote](http://times.github.io/quickQuote/) an open-source project to make it easier and faster for journalists to identify and create an interactive video quote. Last year he was one of the 2016 knight-Mozilla Fellow with Open News at Vox Media where he worked on [autoEdit.io](http://autoedit.io/) super fast text based video editing software that more then halves the time it takes to edit video interviews.
