About me
Ciao!..
My name is Giovanni and I am a Senior Software Engineer based in UK.
I love coding in all of its shapes. In my free time, I have fun playing with new JavaScript frameworks and libraries. I always try to keep my skills up to date by checking what's new out there.
When I am not coding, I am probably bored.
