Create, make, innovate

Roberto Lo Giacco

Agilist, Software Developer, Open Source enthusiast and Hobbist Maker, with some Jedi powers.

Born as a software developer, has met the first personal computer at the age of 5: just for gaming, but it didn’t take much before the curiosity brought him into programming. The god-like power of commanding something and seeing it executed has been often frustrated by crashes and failures, but that didn’t pull him out. Later on, he fell in love with the open source world thankfully to GNU/Linux: a mysterious, CLI based world where you had to compile your own operating system? That’s a programmer’s heaven! He runs his own startup for a few years but then decided it was time for a different experience: agile and behaviour driven development was the turnaround, showing him what could lie beyond the curtain of project management and contract based relationships.

Electronics, microcontrollers and making stuff, in general, is just a hobby, but a very nerdish one!
