Antonio D'Angelo, also known as the 47th funniest guy in his workplace (losing count of awards), is your go-to full stack developer specialized in Cybersecurity.

Hailing from the vibrant scene of Napoli (Italy), Antonio has a knack for crafting web application and script (most of the time useless) for everyone – all while trying to explain the intricacies of mental and cognitive bias.

Antonio is the proud companion of a Belgian Shepherd (named Giotto).

Antonio has broadened his horizons to encompass everything, with a focus on Cybersecurity and staying up-to-date with the latest frameworks.

If you catch him on stage at a tech meetup, he'll likely regale you with tales of awkward party encounters and, of course, some technical tidbits – but mainly about his desire to be in bed and sleep

In the rare moments when Antonio isn't knee-deep in coding, you'll find him indulging in his new pastimes: exploring the world of pubs, savoring Guinness, relishing in cevapi delights, and discreetly sharing forbidden knowledge on his personal blog. And yes, he still enjoys writing about himself, but now it's from a hilariously quirky first-person perspective
