Career Profile
Fascinated from computers since the first Spectrum ZX when I was 8 years old, I've been able to turn my passion into my job, studying and improving my programming skills.
Since 2004 I have been working as a web developer and after many years working on PHP I’m studying functional languages.
I followed the projects from analysis of the requirements to the workflow organization, and I've always been fascinated about agile methodologies. The study of Scrum, XP and Kanban was source of personal growth and was rich of ideas to improve team workflows.
In my professional career user groups had a fundamental role. From 1999 to 2003 I actively participated to Milug (Milan Linux User Group), organizing meetings and Linuxday editions. In subsequent years, working mainly in PHP, I followed Grusp (italian PHP user group) and took part in PHPday. In 2012 I founded the Milan PHP user group, managed by myself until 2015.
I put at the disposal of the team my pragmatic being, keen on deliver the Minimum Valuable Product.
