Hi, I'm Davide.

I'm a Researcher & SW Engineer

I've spent the last 3 years co-building a startup - Develop-Players 🚀
I'm also a computer graphics researcher @ University of Milan "La Statale", currently working on sphere-mehses 👨‍💻

About.

Hey! I'm Davide, if you haven't already gathered that by now. I'm a research fellow and a software engineer doing various stuff related video-games and computer graphics. I specialize in creating and using game/graphical engines (like my own or Unity!), but love building with whatever tools are right for the job.

I currently work for University of Milan and Develop-Players. I also like to create tools that ease the life of my team members (cool right?) and work as a (bad) fullstack developer to create tools for my company.

Outside of work, I like to play sports and video-games. Any given day of the summer you'll find me in the worst basketball courts of Forlì 🏀️ I even a YouTube channel if you're interested in what I'm doing!

I'm passively looking for new projects where I can merge my love for code with my entrepreneur soul. If you think you've got an opening that I might like, let's connect 🔗

I worked on a project about the use of video-games for screening and treatment of ADHD and SLD in children, that later converged into Develop-Players. I developed a prototype game in Unity and a web platform for data collection.
