I was born in 1959 in South Italy (Naples area). At that time my father was a career Lieutenant in the Italian army: he died on duty five years later, leaving my mother, my younger brother and me. I’ve been educated in an environment of mixed family authority figures: my mother (working with the Italian Department of Defence), my grandpa the Barrister, my uncle the army’s General, and another uncle MD Army General, not counting my uncle town manager for 40 years and others “minor”, just professors. It was a challenging environment indeed.

I'm in Ireland, the Tuam district in County Galway.

Yes, I am. I avail of a good group of colleagues as sub-contractors. Obviously I can accept only non conflictual tasks, but I can surely do something for you. Feel free to use the contact form to submit your enquiry.

Here's the list of the main projects/tasks I'm working on.

With Autentys International:

• A new Visual Studio® 2008 Package enabling the developer to RAD generate Distributed and Grid Applications, using a n-tier approach for the database access. I can't disclose anymore about this R&D project, sorry.

Personal projects:

• With my family we're producing Xbox 360® games under the label DFT Games

When it comes to list the skills that I've put together during 29 years of professional career it can be quite long and boring.

Let me list here only what I think it's worthy citing nowadays:
