Alessandro Zangrandi

About

Hi there, I'm Alessandro Zangrandi, a 21 year old from Italy known on the Internet as Alexzan. In my life I develop stuff, I'm a university student, a "writer" and a videogames and anime and manga enthusiast.

I loved computers and technology since I was small, and I started playing games when I was in elementary school. When I entered middle school I was incredibly interested in old tech stuff (I still am, to be honest), installing probably a dozen of Windows and Linux VMs just to try them out and using game emulators of really old platforms. In that period I learned how to use a Linux-based system, and currently I manage a Debian server for all of my stuff. I experimented with various programming languages and game engines, but I never focused on something in particular.

After entering high school I learned the basics of Python and JavaScript, but also WordPress (the CMS of my videogames blog) and PHP (HTML and CSS included). While I made small projects, I never had the opportunity to work on anything big, and this is something I want to do in the future because I love learning new things.

You can find all of my projects in its dedicated page.

Speaking of other things, I'm a bit confident in my English (I never took any official exam) and I want to seriously learn Japanese, even if I'm still at the beginning. I really like writing, and this is one of the reasons why I started this blog: to talk about anything I want in an extensive way. You can expect serious stuff and random posts at the same time. Sometimes I just want to have fun writing.

Regarding anime and manga, I'm a big fan of romance and slice of life works, but I also like other genres (I don't like battle shounen, though). Obviously I play videogames, mainly FPSs. Metroid is probably my favorite franchise (thank you, Nintendo), but I'm not too fond of metroidvanias. Sometimes I also watch movies and TV series and I listen to music (check out my cringey Last.fm account).

I'm young, and this is probably why I want to do a lot of things: I have dreams that I'd like to make a reality. It's time to get to work.
