Portfolio

My first contact with programming was when I was about eight years old. My parents, instead of a classic GameBoy, bought me a strange machine with which it was possibile to learn coding using hundreds of preset listings. I admit I had little idea about what I was doing, but I think it has been useful anyway. At least to impress my friends…

But the real love affair was triggered only during high school, when I was selected to participate in the implementation of the institute’s official website. Man, that was fun!

I decided that this would be my career, and during my studies I devoted myself to increase my knowledge as much as possible in any field of programming, carrying out many voluntary activities as a freelance.

Even after starting working, my thirst of knowledge has not subsided, and led me to always carry out new projects. Below are shown only the most recent, but the list could be much longer…

    A template was bought and customized to suit their needs.

    Features:

    • Customized WordPress template
  • Metal.it

    Metal.it

    Heavy metal webzine and content management system.

    Being a big fan of hard rock and heavy metal music, as well as web development, I have always looked for ways to combine these my two interests. The first attempt, SoloMetal.it, developed between 2001 and 2002, was an interactive portal for the insertion of album reviews by users. The interest in the project, has caused it to be acquired by the large family of Metal.it, one of the main Italian thematic webzines which I became editor-writing over six hundred reviews.

    In 2007 I moved to the development, completely redoing the portal and making it conform to the Web 2.0 dictates. Although the system is now showing its age, it continues to operate with its custom CMS to manage all content in the database.

    Features:

    • Full custom CMS to manage users, roles, ads, groups, albums. reviews, interviews, live calendars, live reports, articles, guides, and so on….
