About me

I am a software developer currently residing near Venice, Italy, a tech entusiast, a fan of mobile devices and Microsoft’s Xbox 360.

I started programming when I was about 10, in BASIC, on my first PC. Since then, I put my hands on most programming languages and environments I could, as I’ve always been curious by nature in this field, and love to know something about everything. My main passion has been web development since 1995: I specialized in a variety of programming languages and techniques, including ASP, ASP.NET, C#, PHP, JAVA, XML, Json, CSS, Javascript. I love Ajax in web development, and have a good knowledge of its basics and the most popular frameworks available.

I’ve always been a fan of Microsoft’s mobile devices, but I also loved the iPhone when I got my hands on it in late 2009. I currently own – and use daily - 1 Android device, 1 iPhone, and a few Windows Phone 7 mobile phones.

I’m very involved in the Xbox Community, built a number of fansites for both the Italian and the international public, and I’m a moderator on the official forums at Xbox.com, since 2007. I received a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional award in 2011.

After several years of employement as a sotware developer in web angencies and consulting companies, I became a fulltime freelance software developer in September 2012.
