React Native Heroes 2024

Hey there! I'm Roberto Brogi, a tech enthusiast a bit of a gaming geek who's been fiddling with code and creating digital magic since the days of Adobe Flash.
Born and raised in Torino, Italy, I've always been fascinated by the possibilities that technology can offer.

My journey in the tech world started at the University of Turin, where I not only mastered my skills in Java, PHP, JavaScript, and a slew of other programming languages but also got to experiment with virtual agents and recommender systems (AI).

I try to push the boundaries of what I could create and innovate.

Since then, I've worn many hats: from a junior developer cutting my teeth on web and mobile projects to leading game development teams for major companies. In 2020, I stepped up as the CTO and Academy Trainer at People First, where I get to shape the minds of future front-end wizards and oversee our software factory.

Not one to sit still, I've presented at numerous conferences, from discussing the intricacies of user rating behaviors at UMAP 2011 in Girona, Spain, to leading React Native workshops in Barcelona. My work, particularly the sound design for "In Space We Brawl," even snagged me a Drago d’oro award in 2015, which was a huge honor.

From 2021 to 2023, I have been involved with the University of Turin, teaching in the degree course on Social Innovation, Communication, and New Technologies. Specifically, I led the Lab React, where I had the opportunity to share my expertise and contribute to the training of upcoming developers in this technology.
