Who I am
My name is Nicolò, I live in Milan and I am a digital professional with a passion for design and technology. I deal with the design and development of websites, web applications and video games.
My story in brief
When I was still a child, my father brought home one of the first iMacs and I was immediately intrigued. While learning how to install games and software, I taught myself English since most of the resources were in English only. In the meantime, I became that person they could count on when their devices didn't work. This passion led me to undertake a computer science path in one of the few high schools specializing in this sector in my area. During my senior year of school, I started building websites and subsequently enrolled in a Game Design course where I gained the skills needed to bring my game ideas to life. After obtaining the Game Design certificate, I improved my knowledge on the main game engines such as Unity, Unreal and I am currently using Godot. I also design and build custom PCs, currently having successfully assembled over 10 for myself, friends and clients.

Passions
Creating games has always been my not-so-secret dream, and since I have the skills to do it, I have dedicated myself to personal projects and with teams from all over the world. I love exploring different genres and game styles, and I'm always looking for new ideas and inspiration. Game design allows me to combine my creativity with my technical skills, and I love seeing my ideas come to life through the development process.
Developing websites is one of my main passions. I strive to write clean, well-structured, reusable, and performance-optimized code. Websites are like a digital canvas on which I can be creative and technical at the same time. I also really enjoy exploring niche services and experimenting with new technologies to create unique and engaging web experiences.
