I'm a software architect with more than 18 years of working experience. I've spent most part of my working life dealing with distributed and parallel applications. I started with high performance computing applications and then, during my last ten years of working, I started to apply middleware technologies to a wide spectrum of problem domains: telecommunications, space and defense, embedded computing. I’m also a senior member of ACM (Association of Computing Machinery), member of the IEEE Computer Society and member of AICA (Associazione Italiana Calcolo Automatico).
