I've always been a discontinuos artist, I love a lot of things, music and paintings above all, but I don't actually paint, I'm able to, but I don't.
Neither I really play music, I study it, that harmonic minor scales are hard.

Among my skills are drawing and making wine.

After high school I've worked in architectural studios as a draftsman.

From 2006 to 2011 I studied graphic design at the University of Florence, Florence in Italy I mean, where I'm from, where I was born, but not raised, where I actually live and work as a frontend developer, occasionally web content manager and by this time for friends and family, graphic designer.

I've started from some corporate identity work, I've learned to manage accurately the early stages of the concept, I've learned to consider that of primary importance, to create a solid base from which to develop the design and production.

In the early years, I have realized concepts, graphic projects from the sketches to the final drafts, visual communication products at all levels, corporate identity projects, as well as customers relationship and printing management.

Now, actually from 2012, I work as a coder, I began as an HTML5 and CSS3 coder, with heavy focus on responsive web design and layout re-flowing, on Windows environment, because I always need to have Photoshop and Illustrator available.

I've worked also on Ubuntu, the coding side is more fluent, but I'm able to set a proper develop environment on Windows too.

So, mixin'up the basics i've learned JavaScript, Django and Python, i've come back to the fundamentals of programming, occasionally exploring computer science and algorithms. It's a work in progress i guess.

Now i can do whatever i want with HTML5 and CSS3, almost what i want with Jquery and Javascript, definitely what i want with Bootstrap, i wrote a couple of fully responsive templates line by line, with custom css from beginning to end, adjusting lots of JQ/JS plugins, programming the Django template sistem, "middlewaring" a lot, and regulating the screen behaviour of every element.

I've been fighting a lot with bad specifics and project managers.

Besides, i can easily work with Wordpress.

I can cook and put down some martial arts moves, i love long series of american crime novels.
