Description

🟥🟦⬜ English:
👋 Hello everyone!
I’m Zakaria, a digital architect with a wanderer’s heart. I am currently based in Piemonte, Italy 🇮🇹, where I am studying Computer Science at the University of Eastern Piedmont (UPO).

🏆 Fun Fact: I am a Workaway Video Competition Winner! I won with a short film capturing the spirit of volunteering, which you can watch here:

💻 My Tech & Creative Projects
I’m deeply passionate about AI, web development, and coding. But I also love bringing people together! I recently built Out of the Loop, a fun group game designed for travelers and friends to play together. You can test it out here:

🌿 Creative & Outdoor side
When I’m not behind a screen, you’ll find me in the mountains 🏔️. I’m an avid hiker and nature lover. As a content creator skilled in photography and video editing, I love capturing the beauty of the places I visit and the stories of the people I meet.

🛠️ Hands-on & DIY
I believe in balance. I have experience in hospitality/catering and I’m very comfortable with physical, hands-on work. Whether it's building fences, painting, gardening, or general maintenance, I’m always happy to roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty!

✨ My Dream:
To create technology that connects people with nature and each other 🌍

🟩⬜🟥 Italiano:
👋 Ciao a tutti!
Sono Zakaria, un "architetto digitale" con l’anima da viaggiatore. Attualmente vivo in Piemonte, dove studio Informatica presso l’Università del Piemonte Orientale (UPO) 🇮🇹.

🏆 Una piccola soddisfazione: Ho vinto il concorso video di Workaway! Ho partecipato con un cortometraggio che racconta l'essenza del volontariato, potete dare un'occhiata qui:

💻 I miei Progetti Tech e Creativi
Sono appassionato di AI e sviluppo web, ma mi piace anche creare strumenti che uniscono le persone. Di recente ho sviluppato Out of the Loop, un gioco di gruppo pensato proprio per i viaggiatori e per fare amicizia. Potete provarlo qui:

🌿 Natura e Creatività
Quando non sono davanti a uno schermo, mi trovo tra le montagne 🏔️. Amo il trekking e la natura. Come content creator esperto in fotografia e montaggio video, amo immortalare la bellezza dei luoghi che visito e le storie delle persone che incontro.

🛠️ Lavoro Manuale e Fai-da-te
Credo molto nell'equilibrio. Ho esperienza nella ristorazione e me la cavo benissimo con i lavori manuali. Che si tratti di costruire recinzioni, dipingere, fare giardinaggio o manutenzione generale, non ho paura di rimboccarmi le maniche e lavorare sodo.
