Hello there! I'm Olmo Biancardi.
Front End Developer | Adventurer | Filmmaker
About _
I'm a web developer who aims to combine the beauty of design with the logical perfection of coding. What drives my professional career is the constant desire of challenging myself in order to discover new ways of creating a great user experience.
I started getting passionate about web developing at the age of 16 when I took my first Computer Science course. Since then I kept learning day by day on my own until today.
I'm 25 years old from Venice, Italy. I'm a computer scientist who owns a BSc in Computer Engineering from Politecnico di Milano and a Nano Degree in Front End web Developing from Udacity. I also worked at Deloitte as a Junior Front End Developer and at L'Oréal as a Front End Architect.
And yes! I do have many interests besides technology too. I love outdoor sports where I can be in touch with nature, such as surfing, kayaking and rock climbing. I also enjoy making short movies of my adventures that you can find on my YouTube Channel.

Projects _
So far, all my projects consist in web applications built with HTML/CSS/Javascript, where I could experiment different technologies for both Front End (suchs as React and Webpack), and build a better understanding of web principle applications. During the creation of these projects I have faced several obstacles that helped me to grow as a Web Developer and become more confident with the tecnhologies behind it.
Here you can find a list of the projects I've worked on.
