Hi! I’m Federico Dell’Aquila, I’ve graduated in Creative Media and Game Technologies at Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUAS) as a Game Programmer and I’m currently looking for a job opportunity.
During my experience I developed skills like problem solving, research, technical analysis and self-learn. I enjoy working in teams, I’m able to provide technical perspectives and identify possible issues to help my team develop the best product possible. I derive a lot of satisfaction in creating solutions that facilitate my teammates’ work.
I’m interest in VR, which brought me to write articles about it on an Italian website for a few years and work on some VR experiences.
