Hello there! I'm Valerio.
From my very young years, I’ve been immersed in gaming, spending countless hours on my brothers’ Xbox, diving into big titles like Halo, Call of Duty, Resident Evil 4, Fable, Ninja Gaiden, Jade Empire, Oddworld… and not to forget the greatest PC games: Starcraft, Half Life, Monkey Island, Quake, System Shock II and so on. 🎮
Nowadays, my passion for the gaming world still burns brightly, and I aspire to channel this enthusiasm into turning my product visions into reality. As an Indie Game Developer, I currently oversee all aspects of development, but what I truly LOVE the most is Game Design, with a special knack for Gameplay Design. 💡
My Skills
As an indie game developer, I possess a diverse range of skills. I am proficient in programming languages such as C#, C++, and JavaScript, which I use to create engaging game mechanics. My expertise extends to game design, mechanics design, and level design, ensuring an immersive player experience. Additionally, I create my own models and textures, bringing my artistic vision to life. I am skilled in character animation, adding fluidity and realism to my games. My comprehensive skill set allows me to manage every aspect of game development, delivering unique and captivating gaming experiences.
I love working in team
Just like in Halo Capture the Flag, teamwork is key. I’ve leveled up my collaboration game by mastering tools and Agile methods to make every mission a success. Agile isn’t just a buzzword for me—it’s how I tackle everything, keeping me nimble and ready for anything.
My arsenal? Jira Atlassian, Trello and Asana for team coordination, whether it’s solo or with a squad of Spartans. For coding projects, I’m all over Github, Gitlab, and BitBucket, navigating repos like a pro.
Let’s just say, I know how to get things done and have fun doing it.
I'm also a mobile and web developer
In addition to game development, I have professionally developed front-end applications using React and React Native. I have also worked on custom solutions that integrate React Native and Unity games, occasionally using native languages like Kotlin/Java and Swift/Objective-C. Furthermore, I have experience creating Quality Assurance automation tests, including unit and integration tests. This diverse skill set allows me to deliver comprehensive mobile and web applications, ensuring high-quality performance and user experience. My ability to work across multiple platforms and technologies showcases my versatility and commitment to excellence in development.
