Giovanni Tio

Giovanni Tio was born in Ukraine and spent most of his life working in the IT industry. He built his career as a software developer and IT architect, gaining years of experience designing complex systems and solving technical challenges.

Married and a proud father of two wonderful daughters, Giovanni began writing in mid-2025 as a creative outlet alongside his professional career. What started as a hobby quickly grew into a serious passion, and by the end of the same year he published his first novel.
