Who I am

Born in 1949, Italian, I have been working as software developer and IT consultant since 1973 and have been a manager in various multi-national firms where I have worked in software development, software engineering, quality assurance, knowledge management and bid management.

I am pragmatic and much more interested in the results produced by technology in terms of user's satisfaction and social progress than in the technology itself.

I am currently a free-lance IT consultant specialized in database applications and web software development. I am mainly using ASP.NET, PHP, Joomla, SQL Server, MS Access and MySQL.

My mother tongue is Italian and I also speak English, French and German. I am married and father of two children.

My hobbies include photography (see some of my photographs), music playing, psychology,  developing software and collecting aphorisms and quotations (see Dixxit a quote database that I have created). I am also very interested in ethical matters and have founded a social network dedicated to rational ethics (www.eticarazionale.net -- in Italian)

As to my character, I like to define myself as an "open introvert", that is a person that appreciates both solitude and company in a well balanced combination.
