Hi 👋, I'm Oreste Leone
iOS Engineer and
Indie Game Developer
About

Hello, I’m Oreste Leone, an iOS Engineer and Game Developer
with a background in Computer Science at the University of Naples Federico II,
and I'm based in Naples, Italy.
With hands-on experience as a Unity Developer and Game Designer,
I have contributed to various projects, collaborating with professionals as Freelancer in development
of cross platform apps and consulting.
But most of all I'm proud of being a member of Lapse Games, a small Indie Game Development
Team.
We achieved significant milestones with the Lapse Trilogy, which has garnered over 15 million
downloads
on both the App Store and Google Play. My role involved conceptualizing the trilogy and collaborating with
the team
and external freelancers to create engaging and intuitive gaming experiences.
Today I’m also working as an iOS Engineer thanks to the experiences made at the Apple
Developer Academy @UNINA,
first as a student, and then as an App Developer in the Pier Program, developing an internal tool aimed at
enhancing the leaning journey inside the developer academies.
I was also awarded in the WWDC22 and WWDC23 editions of the Swift Student
Challenge and
developed apps and games that are available on the App Store.
With hands-on experience in the both industries, I’m passionate about mentoring others about
every aspect of the game development journey and sharing my knowledge.
My dream is to create a wide community of Italian Game Developers to greatly
increase the industry in my country.
If you're interested in connecting or discussing opportunities in Game or iOS development, I’m happy to hear
more!
