Simone Laierno

Born in 1990, raised as a terrone and bolognese by choice. I am one of those kids that always had a computer to play with.

The first computer in my house was a Commodore Amiga 500. There is a picture of when I was a year and half old where I am on my father’s lap while he was playing a videogame. Another picture, a year later, I was next to him, with the player 2 joystick controlling a jeep and giving support to my father’s helicopter in Silkworm.

Just before my school start, my father bought a PC. “To help me with my studies” he said to my mother. Giochi per il Mio Computer was an encyclopedia, I guess. And Tomb Raider was there to help me with my history assignments, right?

Besides videogames, the whole computer world always fascinated me. I initially played the role of the home sysadmin and during my high school I discovered the world of computer programming. It was too fun not to dig further into it!

I studied Computer Engineering and graduated at the Alma Mater Studiorum. My main field was computer vision and I studied a bit of artificial intelligence, operational research and FPGA programming. I also developed an interest in programming languages theory.
I always made sure to avoid any networking course like Neo with the bullets. Then, of course, I ended up working in the TLC area, developing software for LTE and 5G infrastructures in the cutting edge programming language C.

What about videogames? Always been there next to me, still a part of my everyday life.

During my free time I try to work on a small project in C++17/20 because it is too fun to play with such a twisted language, ending up cursing at the usual template error. So masochistic.

On my GitHub you can find my only personal public project, because the other 19 private ones are too incompletethe world is still not ready for them.
