Who am I?

Since I was a kid I have been developed engineering skills: building everything with "Lego", trying to repair my broken toys were common activities.

During University I was part of the 1% people who used Linux, who developed application by they own, who had personal server hosted somewhere and knew how to manage it.

Today I'm heavily involved and interested in opensource technologies, projects and communities. I think opensource is the bigger chance we have, to improve skills and person.

I'm a dynamic person, I can adapt myself to every programming language, framework, technology, methodology to do whatever is needed to do. I support Agile methodologies, in particular I have been worked using SCRUM and peer programming (XP). I think Agile techniques are elegant, innovative and, productive.

I have high skills also in system administration fields; I'm able to design enterprise and mission critical infrastructure. In 2008 I got Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) certification.
