About

Mi ritengo una persona socievole, curiosa e positiva. Mi piacciono le sfide e approcciarmi ai problemi analizzandoli da diversi punti di vista, avendo svolto una formazione eclettica e interdisciplinare. Per questo motivo sono sempre interessato ad acquisire sempre conoscenze teoriche e competenze pratiche. Sono fortemente motivato e orientato al conseguimento di risultati sia aziendali che personali. Alla passione per le scienze (soprattutto la biologia e la chimica) associo uno spiccato interesse per la cosidetta cultura "nerd": adoro infatti il mondo videoludico, l'animazione giapponese e i film.
