Federico Curzel
I am a hands-on, highly competent Software Engineer.
I've spent most of my career working on Mobile Apps, especially iOS, but I've also worked on Android, backend
and frontend, across many industries.
I currently lead an iOS team working on smart lighting and other IOT products.
Outside of tech, I quickly fall in love with any topic that stimulates my brain, from science and futurism to
physics, space exploration, design... You name it.

Personal Projects
Hidden Mugs
My very own YouTube Channel where I use animated characters to discuss and make fun of the latest Tech News.
The videos are generated using a tool i designed from scratch (Funnybot), which I have not open sourced as of
yet.
Check it out here.
Bit Therapy
Bit Therapy is an app that brings Desktop Pets to macOS, currently used by over 10.000 users every day!
The project is open source and available on the App
Store.
An increasing number of assets are being drawn by me!
Pipper
Pipper is a web browser in its simplest possible form: a webview and exactly 6 buttons.
Its only distinctive feature is the ability to float over other windows, allowing content to be always visible.
Some early users have started to use it as a control panel for audio mixers, among other things.
The project is open source and will soon be available on the App
Store.
