New hires 🤝
Over the past month we have welcomed Marco to our team as our Fullstack Developer.
We asked Marco to tell us a bit about himself:
‘’ I worked for various B2B companies, as an aspiring concept artist I started as a Frontend Engineer focusing a lot on design and UX, but my will to study and stay up to date with the technologies took me to the Backend world first and now to the DevOps one, which is the one I’m focusing the most. Web3 was the last (but most important) missing point, and thanks to Li.Fi I’ll be able to connect the best of all of those worlds’’
Marco, it’s great to have you onboard, and we are looking forward to all that is ahead with you on team! 🤝
