My journey into programming began with a deep interest in computers, sparked by the French animated series Code Lyoko.

Over time, this passion grew, and I found myself particularly drawn to puzzle and sandbox games, especially those centered around automation.

I am driven by the goal of creating tools and solutions that help others develop their own games, making their journey smoother and more accessible.

I chose the gaming industry as my professional path because it allows me to combine my love for programming with the fulfillment of bringing ideas to life.

In the future, I hope to see more programmers venture into game development and help the industry grow, particularly in Italy, where I aspire to contribute to its expansion.
