Andrea Tommaso Bonanno - Team Lead

 Hi everyone, 

 

 I'm Andrea and I'm from Italy (Sicily, if somebody knows). I'm a graduate student, so my rank is MS.

 

 CS skills: I took many courses about AI, Software Engineering and Computer Algorithms, but I've never  attended neither Computer Graphics courses nor Videogame courses, then it's my first experience in the  development of videogames. Since the languages which I'm more familiar are Java, C/C#, Python, I'd like to use Panda 3D, but I don't exclude of working with a C++-based engine(I'm looking at Irrlicht).

 

Talents: I'm very good in playing soccer videogames and the game itself, but I have a very great passion for videogames in general; even if it's not so pertinent I'm a pretty good cook as the Italian tradition wants. 

 

My personal Web Page is here.

 

Alfredo Motta - Developer

 Hi everyone,

 I 'm Alfredo and I am a graduate student in cs engineering.

 CS skills: I took some AI course, some algorithm course and software engineering course, but I never worked  with computer graphics or videogame before. I am pretty comfortable with Java and C++. I also made some  projects in python. I love web development and all his aspects, from web design with gimp to web page development with server side technologies (J2EE, php).

Talents: I like playing soccer and tennis. I have also practiced sailing for a long time. The rest of my free time its all about videogames in general and animation :). My favourite videogames ever are Winning Eleven, Final Fantasy and Gran Turismo

Valerio Panzica La Manna - Developer

Hi everybody,

my name is Valerio, I' m a MS student from Politecnico di Milano, Italy.

CS skills:  I took several AI courses , like AI 1( of course), Data Mining and Semantic Web. My field is Software Engineering, so I'm pretty comfortable with Formal Methods and Logic. I have a full knowledge of Java and C, but I like also programming in Python. I don't have any experience on Computer Graphics nor Video Game Programming, but I have chosen this course to have the first experience, so I guarantee hard work.

Talent: I have played the classical guitar for 3 years (and now I'm trying the electric one), and practiced Karate for 9 years. I'm currently looking into Panda3D because I'd like to work in a cross-platform engine (I used to program in Linux even if I can move to Windows) and to program in Python but I'm completely open to any suggestion.
