About Me

Hello! 👋

I'm Riccardo Ostani, a software developer from Rome, Italy.
My journey into the cyber universe began when I was 10 years old, and I started to be fascinated by the world of computers and, in particular, programming. I realized very fast that computer science would be my passion, and I soon decided to pursue a career in this field.
Throughout all these years, I learned to use many programming languages and created several personal projects (some listed below). In addition to this, I felt the need to systematize, consolidate, and expand my knowledge about computer science. Therefore, I decided to take a university degree course, and I recently graduated with honors in Engineering in Computer Science (Master's Degree).
I am an active learner, analytical, highly motivated, and committed to my work, always willing to learn new skills to enhance my knowledge and capabilities.
As time went by, I developed an interest in every aspect of computer science. Still, I am mainly focused on and passionate about software development, cybersecurity, design best practices, and secure and clean code principles.
