Founders

After earning a degree in history at the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice, I moved to Paris to continue my studies on the social construction of the economy. At the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) I received the Diplôme d’études approfondies in Sociology and worked with the Center de Sociologie Européenne (CSE) until the passing of Pierre Bourdieu, whose book The Rules of Art (il Saggiatore, Milan 2005) I have translated into Italian. Between the charme of bohemian Paris and Venetian decadence, the latter has finally prevailed and I returned to Venice permanently. Familiarity with computer science and a great interest in the Internet led me to found the project HCE with Paolo Mioni. Now I take care of strategic design, project management and interaction with our clients and partners. I’m certified as Zend PHP Engineer, brainstormer, storyteller and monkey-tester. I often approximate Bach's fugues and Brahms' Intermezzi at the piano.
After earning an International Baccalaureate at the United World College of the Adriatic, I graduated in Philosophy at the University of Padua with a thesis on Friedrich Nietzsche’s posthumous fragments. After a few corporate experiences as IT staff, translator, interpreter and representative of modernity in general, I founded HCE with Emanuele Bottaro in 2001.
I am the company's CTO, and therefore I'm in charge of analysis, system integration, development team coordination, as well as code quality control. I'm also a web writer, and some of my articles have been published on major international publications. I teach seminars on IT topics at the University of Padua.
I am a Board Member of Rabbit Hole Consulting e.V., an association of European IT professionals based in Germany.
I speak English almost as a native speaker and I would love to be able to practice my German more, time permitting. I once did a coast to coast tour of the United States as a guitarist in a psychedelic rock band, sleeping on the most exclusive floors from NY to Seattle.
