About Vittorio Iocolano (aka SirPryderi)
I’ve been a full-time software engineer since I took an Applied Computing degree in 2019 at the University of Stirling, Scotland.
I am proficient in web development, but my curiosity leads me towards learning and experimenting with different technologies and programming languages, giving me a all-round knowledge in everything that is related to code.
In my free time, I enjoy making free and open source applications of different nature, including simulation, tooling and thought-provoking games.
Programming aside, I love photography, hiking, cycling, video games, and space exploration .
Blog
Sometimes I write stuff, these are my latest blog posts.
I decided to convert my one-page website to Jekyll in order to make it more easy to maintain. Using Markdown to write content about my projects intrigued me, and and very easily managed to convert my previous hand-crafted HTML5 website to a more dynamically generated one.
Over three years after its first commit in 22 Jul 2017, Open Hosts Editor has finally been officially released on Google Play!

Photography
I am also very passionate about photography, both from the technical and artistic point of view. I am always looking around to find the perfect subject for my pictures, be it a flower, a building, or a person. Follow @SirPryderi on Instagram to see my best shots!
