About

👋 Hi, I'm Andrea, an IT engineer interested in Blockchain, music and "Middle earth" fantasy. I started programming in 2002, and I have around 12 years of professional experience.

I'm a Rust developer who's been using the language since 2021. Over the years, I've explored many programming languages, but I can say without a doubt that Rust is the best I've ever used. I'm excited to keep exploring all that Rust has to offer.
