Hi, I’m Andrea
I’m a full-stack web developer at 7Gen. My current tech stack is NextJS, React, Material UI, Prisma, MongoDB.
Before switching career to web dev, I got a PhD in Comparative Literature and worked as an Italian teacher for universities, non-profits and government organizations. I designed digital textbooks and online courses that encourage learners to develop their own curiosity and agency.
In my free time, I enjoy all kinds of gaming: board games, videogames and, above all, tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs). My other passions are media (film, TV, sci-fi/fantasy fiction), productivity and personal knowledge management.
I’m originally from Verona, Italy, and I am currently based in Vancouver, Canada.
What I’m currently doing (July 2024)
- Working on the customer portal at 7Gen
- Redesigning this blog using my current tech stack
- Reading Masters of Doom by David Kushner
- Learning French
- Playing Baldur’s Gate (the original one from 1998) on the Switch
