About me
Since 1997, I have been involved in various aspects of software engineering and consulting, applying them to different contexts. This is for sure one of my most important strengths and for this reason I'm concentrating my efforts on the consulting area.
Working on projects related to semiconductors, telecom or defence allowed me to improve my experience on key concepts such as problem solving, methodologies and processes, business analysis.
The freelancing experience is for sure a big challenge and furthermore the realization of a professional path that I strongly want to follow: satisfying my curiosity, dealing with different technologies and business, growing and learning continuously, creating value for my clients.
In order to follow these steps, I never stopped to study and I follow market and trends, to understand what clients are looking for in a professional partner.
In these years I gained the following professional certifications:
# OMG-Certified UML Professional Intermediate (OCUP-I)
# Sun Certified Programmer for Java 1.5 (SCJP 1.5)
# Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate (OCA)
# Microsoft Certified Application Developer VB.Net (MCAD .Net)
And something else is coming up!
If you are looking for a professional and reliable business partner, please feel free to drop me an email.
Welcome to my Xing page. Enjoy yourself!
