About

I am passionate about computer science and above all on environments management and engineering works. I have had experience as administrator of complex systems, being part of the design and automation processes. I have good programming skills and a strong problem solving attitude. Team working, time management and good communication are attributes that I possess. Back to Italy after several years, I had in Europe (and currenly I have in Italy) the opportunity to be part of technology companies leader in their market, improving my management and lead skills day by day
