Mi sono laureato all’Università di Bari in "Informatica e Tecnologie per la produzione del Software" con il massimo dei voti.

In questi ultimi 10 anni mi sono specializzato nella realizzazione di applicazioni web complesse utilizzando linguaggi di programmazione come PHP 5.x – SQL/MYSQL - AJAX/JQUERY – XHTML/STILI CSS e basandomi su una metodologia di sviluppo Object Oriented e un Pattern architetturale MVC.

Inoltre ho un ottima conoscenza delle basi di programmazione di JAVA e JAVA EE.

Ultimamente le mie passioni si stanno direzionando su diversi campi :

• Sviluppo di applicazioni web innovative che sfruttano dei sistemi di raccomandazione
• Sviluppo di applicazioni integrando le api Facebook
• Sviluppo di videogiochi, mediante l'ambiente di sviluppo Unity 3D
• Sviluppo di applicazioni Mobile su ambiente Android.

Particolare attenzione inoltre pongo sulla User Experience che ritengo un fattore necessario (ma non sufficiente) affinché un progetto possa avere successo.

About Me

Ho 26 anni e sono Dottore in “Informatica e Tecnologie per la produzione del Software” , titolo conseguito presso l’Università di Bari con votazione 110/110.

La mia passione negli ultimi 10 anni si è diretta molto verso lo sviluppo web, specializzandomi in linguaggi come XHtml, Php, Mysql, Javascript, Dom, Xml, Ajax e gli stili Css. Ma non solo, mi sono anche cimentato in linguaggi di programmazione come C++ e Java.

Ultimamente mi sto anche appassionando nello sviluppo di videogiochi , mediante l’ambiente di sviluppo Unity 3D.

Col tempo sono riuscito a unire la mia passione per l’informatica al lavoro, oltre che allo studio ,accrescendo cosi le mie competenze professionali, in maniera piacevole.

Nella mia professione mi sono specializzato principalmente nello sviluppo di portali web professionali che rispondono ad ogni tipo di esigenza: grandi community, e-commerce, webzine, siti personali, etc.

Negli ultimi tempi sto scoprendo l’utilizzo importante del “riuso del codice”, cioè il riadattare i software open source in base alle proprie utilità. Questo consente di velocizzare lo sviluppo dei progetti al fine di alleggerire i costi.
