About

In short

My name is Giacomo, a nostalgic nerd born in '91 and a web developer with a passion for crafting high-quality digital experiences. I currently live in Rimini, Italy, my hometown.

I have always been drawn to manual and creative activities, especially designing and building prototypes. This passion led me to pursue a diploma as an Electronics and Telecommunications Expert, where I learned to merge technical drawing with real-world applications.

My journey into the world of IT began with small embedded systems projects, where I combined hardware and software to bring ideas to life. After earning my degree in Engineering and Information Technology from the University of Bologna, I immediately transitioned into the field of web development, constantly seeking new challenges and professional growth.

At work

I am a respectful, kind, introverted, yet highly professional individual. While I enjoy working independently, I also thrive in constructive discussions, always open to exchanging opinions and insights to improve both knowledge and the quality of a project.

Over the years, collaborating with meticulous (borderline obsessive) UX/UI designers has taught me to pursue pixel-perfect designs, ensuring that every project meets the highest aesthetic and functional standards.

When it comes to code, I am a perfectionist. Everything must be well-structured, formatted, and documented. Clean code is not just a habit—it's a necessity. I believe that maintainability and clarity are key to a high-quality product.

Continuous professional growth is one of my main priorities. I am always eager to learn, experiment, and refine my skills, ensuring that I stay at the forefront of modern web development.

Hobbies

I have (unfortunately) way too many hobbies, and they tend to be (unfortunately) expensive. Here are the latest obsessions keeping me sane:

Traveling

I take every opportunity to travel and explore new places. I've visited many European cities like Paris, Oslo, Tromsø, Andalusia, Amsterdam, Prague, and Vienna, as well as more distant destinations like Kenya and Thailand. Hopefully, this list will keep growing!

Custom PC Builds

I've been building gaming PCs since I was a kid, not just for myself but also for friends and family. Unfortunately, this passion comes with a hefty price tag, so I can't indulge in it as often as I'd like.

Motorcycles

Especially in summer, few things compare to the freedom of riding along the Rimini seafront, enjoying the sea breeze and open road.

Growing Hot Peppers

A relatively new but rewarding hobby. As a spice enthusiast, nothing beats growing my own chili peppers and using them in the kitchen for that perfect kick.

Playing Guitar

I've been playing the guitar since I was young, completely self-taught. It's my way of unwinding, especially between coding sessions.

Sport Shooting

I've always been fascinated by precision shooting—starting with toy guns as a kid and now practicing sport shooting at the range.

DIY & Repairs

I love working with my hands. Whether it's fixing something or building a new project, I can't wait to head to the garage and get started.
