Touted as the "patron saint of the internet," Acutis used his natural tech talent to create a website to catalogue miracles and took care of websites for some local Catholic organizations.

He was a self-starter. While still in elementary school, Acutis taught himself to code using a university computer science textbook, and then learned how to edit videos and create animation.
