I believe in a world in which the human being and technology are in symbiosis with one another. I see a future in which technology is nothing else than a natural extension of mankind, without creating that sense of social alienation that we are used to feel. I hope for a Technology that supports mankind in its research of the answers to the deepest questions that characterize our existence.
Work Experience
Graphic and Web Designer
CUS Bologna, Bologna
I was responsible of working on a range of projects, designing websites and flyers to promote CUSB sections of Ultimate Frisbee, Fencing and Fitness. I used mostly Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver but also Cinema4D and Keyshot for mockups and 3D rendering.
iOS Developer
Freelance, Bologna
I coded mobile applications from scratch to simplify the management of my daily routine. I also published on the App Store the app I was using to take the bus (Catch the Bus - Bologna) and it has been bought more than 1600 times, reaching the top 5 of the category Trips. I used Objective C and XPath within Xcode then Adobe Illustrator to design the UI.
Party Planner and Entertainer
La Dolce Fantasia, Bologna
I invent role-play games to entertain kids and adults, paying attention to every detail to ensure a great costumer experience. That helped me to improve my public speaking confidence and to predict any unexpected circumstance.
Assistant Programmer

I had my first internship at SMART.it where I learned how to work as a team on a project. I added multilanguage feature to italian websites asking experts for translations, I coded flash games for educational purposes and I changed style and colors of pages on the basis of costumers requests. I used CSS, PHP, HTML and Flash within Dreamweaver.

My Interests
I have a lot of interests, basically I really enjoy to learn something new in every aspect of my life. I like playing a lot of sports like football, futsal, handball and the sport I'm playing right now is Ultimate Frisbee. I also love mountain and I'm trying to improve myself in hiking and climbing, but to be honest there's a long road ahead. I also love to read books, I read every type but I prefer to read Mystery and Horror genres and I try to avoid Drama and Romance genres. I enjoy myself also watching movies, I try to choose the ones which will make me think because I love the sensation of being without words during the credits. I have a special passion for bikes, when I was younger I wasn't be able to get a scooter, mainly for safety concerns, so I started using the bike to go everywhere, and now I'm sort of addicted to it. I also love to travel around the world, to understand how the other cultures work and to learn to think outside the region in which I grew up.
