I've spent the last 5 years working with C#, and now I'm keen to explore new methodologies and frameworks — and meet some new people along the way!</p> <p>I also studied Game Design for 3 years at AIV (the Italian Video Game Academy), and these days, besides my job, I spend my time developing video games — mostly with Unreal Engine, though every now and then I play around with Godot too.</p> <p>On top of that, I'd like to use this as a chance to improve my English, so feel free to correct me anytime. 😊</p> programming beginners career learning
