Max Ratti – Senior Unity Developer

Computer Science and Engineering – Politecnico di Milano

Max studied Computer Science and Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, presumably because “Time-Bending with Code” wasn’t an official degree. He was one of the earliest Unity adopters worldwide, jumping on board back in 2007 when Unity 2.0 had just dropped and most people still thought “real-time 3D” was a fancy way to describe a 3D PowerPoint transition. Since then, Max has worked on many games and everything from desktop to AR, VR, XR, haptic devices, if it’s got a screen (or a headset), he’s built something for it. Over his career of almost two decades in the real-time simulation space, Max has also picked up a few awards… The full list is available for a fiver. When he’s not busy trying to bend reality with code, you’ll find him snowboarding down mountains or cruising on a motorbike because apparently walking just doesn’t quite cut it.
