About Me

Hi! My name is Gianni and I'm a software engineer with an interest that spans the full-stack, but I have a special place in my heart for front-end development.

My journey has been marked by a deep dive into the process of creating engaging user experiences with technologies like React, React Native, Tailwind, NextJS, etc.

Besides web development, I also have been venturing into game development as a hobby, diving into the realms of Unity and Unreal Engine to understand the magic behind immersive game experiences.

Skills:

Languages | JavaScript/TypeScript • HTML/CSS • Python • C++

Tools & Frameworks | React • React Native • Tailwind • AWS • Unreal Engine

Applications | Photoshop • Adobe XD • Postman
