Profile Picture

I am Alessandro Tironi, a videogame programmer currently based in Rome, Italy.

I am specialized in implementing gameplay systems involving character controls, animation and AI. I started my career as a professional in the games industry in 2019, and I have been working at Storm in a Teacup as a gameplay programmer since then.

Before 2019, I worked as a research consultant in the Applied Intelligent Systems laboratory of the University of Milan, making exer-games for postural rehabilitation, while studying to get my B.Sc. in Computer Science.
