I am a GIS fanatic living in Rome, Italy. I have been glued (without hope of freedom) to a computer since the early 80’s when I have been developing some Zork-like adventures game on his Commodore Vic20/64/Amiga. I landed in GIS in the late 90’s, writing some (now museum-worthy) AML code for ARC/INFO and then migrating to ArcObjects and finally to Open Source GIS.
I am an engineer and I work since 1998 in the IT field, mainly with GIS and CMS software. I have been working with Esri Italia for two years and since 2001 I am working for IPI (Istituto Promozione Industriale) as an IT Project Manager.
The technologies I use every day in my working projects are both commercial (.NET, SQL Server, Esri ArcGIS Desktop, ArcIMS, ArcSDE, Oracle) and Open Source (Java, Python, MySQL, Postgres, MapServer, PostGIS), and I am very interested in the integration and interoperability of them.
I am an Open Source advocate and I am one of the developers of zigGIS, the PostGIS connector for ArcGIS Desktop.
