Developer Project
Resume:
I am a video game developer and I love them.
In the last years I worked in this industry developing products for the digital stores but I had experiences about the creation of video games also in the cultural heritage context. In the last five years I worked with the Unity 3D engine and C# language to make my products and I have a good understanding of all of its parts.
My experience is about gameplay development, UI development, basic AI development, Shuriken's use and integration of third party packages.
With this engine I developed also softwares of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality on various technolgies (Microsoft Hololens, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Apple ARKit beta).

About me
Innovation Manager, Senior Game Developer/Designer Protom Group Spa
At the Protom Group Spa, as Innovation Manager I’m working at the conception and development of all the new company softwares with the available new techonologies. In the last year I worked to create the biggest european museum about the human body: Corporea.
This structure, based in Naples at the Science Centre, contains about 100 museal exhibits with sixty different softwares all developed with Unity 3D engine and C# language. Some of these are video games based on “Learning by Play” concept. For example, MicroBiox is a platform game like Super Mario Bros set in the human intestine.
The user controls one of four different characters, running, jumping and learning through ten levels, using touch controls on a 40’’ screen. Another example is VaxWar that’s a video game about the importance of the vaccines. In this case, the user must defend the human population, by the attacks of variuos viruses, using the bridges that he can create collecting the vaccines showed in the game level.
Both the listed titles are developed with a Finite State Machine in C# language. At last, I’m teaching children the principles of game design, of game development and of 3D modeling during free public courses.
