About

I'm Lorenzo Lodi, an independent technical project manager, software consultant, and engineer based in Modena, Italy.

For over a decade I've helped organizations plan and deliver research & development, software engineering, and technical strategy work — including seven years as R&D Project Manager for a security and defence research and advisory firm whose clients have included the European Commission, ESA, ENISA, and national governments, where I coordinated collaborative research initiatives in multimedia, interactive applications, and emerging technologies. Alongside that, I've spent years building shipped mobile apps and games for clients: from augmented-reality product demos to a basketball management game with thousands of active players.

I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science (Web and Multimedia Applications) from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, along with graduate coursework in interactive and 3D graphics from CINECA. My research on early-warning malware detection has been published, and it still shapes how I think about technical risk today.

What ties it together: I like turning complexity into delivered software, whether that's gathering requirements for a business process, coordinating technical work, or shipping a game people actually play.

Services

Technical Project Management & IT Consulting

I help businesses plan, structure, and deliver technical projects that need an experienced hand. With over a decade in software consulting — including seven years leading R&D initiatives end-to-end for a security and defence research firm — I can support projects from early requirements and technical evaluation through coordination, risk management, and delivery. My background spans business process management, big data, and cybersecurity — including published research on early-warning threat detection.

  • Software and R&D project management
  • Requirements gathering and scope definition
  • Technical planning, vendor/team coordination, and delivery oversight
  • Web, mobile, data, cybersecurity, and business-process consulting

Game & App Development

When a project calls for hands-on execution, I design and build mobile apps and games end-to-end — native iOS/Android development, Unity3D games, augmented-reality experiences, and the server infrastructure they need to run. That delivery background helps me manage technical projects with a practical understanding of how products actually get built.

  • Game development (Unity3D)
  • Native iOS & Android app development
  • Augmented reality apps & SDK integration
  • Backend/API development to support mobile & game clients
