About Me

Daniele Ruffo

Gameplay Programmer

Hi, my name is Daniele Ruffo and I am a Gameplay Programmer from Milan, Italy.

As soon as I discovered the dark side of programming I understood that it was my passion and my damnation. I also realized that I could actually learn how to create games. Like anyone in this field, I love them, but for me, the real magic lies in their power to stir emotions, whether it’s anger, fear, joy, or sadness. I want to contribute and create games that can inspire these emotions in others, just as they did for me from the very beginning.

Unfortunately life is a tough RPG. I had to pause my university studies and jump into my career earlier than expected.

I currently work as a Project Manager and Senior Software Developer for an IT company, but I never let go of my dream. That is why I I’ve kept learning and working towards it.

In late 2023, I dove into Unreal Engine, participated in a Game Jam, and decided to enroll in a Game Programming course at DigitalBros Game Academy, where I’m now bringing my latest project to life.

 

Beyond all this, I’m an active person who loves sports, games and board games, TV Series, Anime and traveling the world with my four-legged friends.

If you’d like to connect and start creating games together, feel free to reach out.
