Enrico Rossomando

For over 15 years I’ve built my career at the intersection of game development and SaaS solutions, designing scalable, high-performance systems — from multiplayer game architectures to cloud-based enterprise applications and real-time backend services.

I lead cross-functional teams across the full product lifecycle — architecture, development, deployment and live operations — consistently balancing technical excellence with business impact.

My Story

My curiosity for computers started in childhood, watching my father work on them — and it never stopped. I graduated in Computer Science from the University of Salerno, with a dissertation on an electronic voting system and a thesis on graph algorithms, the latter carried out in Reykjavík, Iceland.

Over the years I founded several companies, starting with web applications built on the “modern” technologies of the time (jQuery, HTML Canvas, CSS3), then moving into mobile — first native with Objective-C, then with cross-platform frameworks. Partly by chance and partly out of passion, the software I built started to look more and more like video games. That was the Mangatar era: my education as a “startupper”, and a collaboration with Microsoft to port one of our games to Windows Phone that led me into Unity3D — love at first sight ever since.

Along the way I dug into everything around game-making: the psychology of game design, data analysis, multiplayer systems, freemium business models, backend-as-a-service and user acquisition. As a freelancer I’ve collaborated with Italian studios such as DigitalTales, SpinVector and Just Funny Games, and built long-running partnerships — with Michele Criscuolo on countless projects, with Maestro Libero Iannuzzi on musical games for children, and with Daniele Biancardi of Geniusuite on web and mobile products for schools and education.
