Hi! I’m Davide from Italy!

My developer’s journey began in early 2000s.
In those years programming was still niche and it was difficult to grab a compiler for any programming language, also with a dial-up connection anything bigger than 5MB was very time consuming to download.
So I relied on magazines because they came with CDs full of development tools, libraries and documentation for various languages. My first programming language was C followed by C++, DevCpp was my IDE of choice.
After all these years of learning, struggling in order to getting better and learn from errors I still use these two old mature languages because they allows me to get things done!

My programming skills

• C and C++: I consider myself a C/C++ developer, I love those languages even if they feels a bit old and quirky sometimes.
• Python: Not really a fan, but it gets things done fast, there are plenty of libraries out there and the community is big.
• Lua: One of the fastest scripting language out there, very minimal, easy to embed but still powerful, I love it!
• Javascript, HTML & CSS: If you want do to something web related…

There are some other languages like Ruby, Lisp (and Scheme), Forth, Perl and Bash.
But I’m not very proficient and I need to always refresh my knowledge of them in order to use it.

Interests

• Low Level, firmware & embedded world: Coding in memory restricted environments is a lot of fun because you need to consider every byte you use.
• Reverse Engineering: I don’t care if it’s hardware or software, I like to know how things are done.
• Compilers, Decompilers and Disassemblers: Related to the interest above, I’m also writing my own disassembler.

Since 2012 I use Linux, my distros of choice are Void Linux (Main) and Arch Linux, they are simple, minimal with rolling release model.

My editor and IDE of choice is NeoVim with a personal configuration.

Thanks for reading!
