Hello World!!

A brief description of myself

Hello, my name is Enrico! I'm an Italian software engineer who loves web development and technology in general. I dived into web development many years ago when I was still a student, I started my journey in the web world hacking with PHP as a back-end programming language to later learn JavaScript for front-end development, which then became my main programming language. Despite currently I work mostly with JavaScript and PHP, I used, and sometimes I use, several other languages such as TypeScript, Python, Java, and others. I love learning new things, for this reason I spend much of my spare time learning to use new technologies, tools, and languages or simply creating personal projects, most of which are open-source. In my life I follow many other hobbies, main ones are video games, mostly online ones, digital photography, foreign language study (Russian and Japanese), and to keep myself in shape by going to the gym regularly. I'm also a heavy music listener (and a casual vinyl records collector too), as well as a newbie piano learner. Furthermore, I'm also keen on cuisine and tasty food: as a good Italian I love pasta, especially Lasagne, pizza but I love sushi too; I'm a greedy coffee and tea drinker but a glass of good wine is always welcome if situation requires it. I love technology, both modern and vintage; when time allows me I like to experiment with electronics, using platforms such as Arduino, but I love also to explore local markets to discover technologic vintage objects or other kind of stuff I like to collect. When I have the opportunity I travel to discover new places to visit and to take some pictures of, especially museums and art cities.
