Hugo Di Francesco

Started off scripting interactions in RPGMaker.

Tried and failed to learn Java and Pascal as a kid.

Did a school work experience where I messed around with HTML/CSS.

Went to university college London, degree called "Mathematical Computation". First year was intro to C, bit of Java, functional programming. End of first year blagged my way through an interview for a paid internship at a web agency doing lots of CSS and a bit of PHP (Laravel).

Rest is history, learnt React, got a job doing that. Finished uni got a job doing full-stack JS + Python (Angular) now doing React + Node and Vue for my personal projects.
