My time at the academy

At DBGA I learned how games are checked before I learned how they are built. I took two live online courses taught by industry professionals, and both ended with real work on real team projects.

    • Bug reporting
    • Jira
    • Agile and Waterfall

About

I have been playing video games for as long as I can remember, and making them for a living is the goal I am working towards. After a diploma in computer science, where I learned to program in C++ and Java, I started teaching myself game development with Minecraft mods and small Unity games.

C++ is the language I have studied in the most technical depth. C#, Java and JavaScript, along with some of their frameworks, I have used extensively, learning them at school or on my own.

Today I am developing Unleashed in Unity as part of an indie team.

Based in Tuscany, Italy. Open to junior game developer and QA testing roles, on-site, hybrid or remote.
