## BIO
I've started coding in 6510 assembler (Commodore 64) in 1983, and never stopped!
Now I'm CEO of InformAction, a software development company based in Italy, and still love programming like the first day.
We mainly work with Italian Public Administration (e-government projects), standardizing on the Java Enterprise Edition and Microsoft .NET platforms.
Our main expertise areas are Workflow Management Systems (WMS), Content Management Systems (CMS) and Network Security.
But we code games too :-), and I'm a contributor developer of the Mozilla Firefox open source web browser.
I'm quite well known as the author of a Softpedia 5/5 Pick: <img src= "http://flashgot.net/flashgot/softpedia\_pick\_award_s.gif?ref=rac" />
**FlashGot**, one of the most popular <a href= "https://addons.mozilla.org/">Firefox add-ons</a>.
I also created another famous and appreciated security extension called **NoScript**, which implements white-list based blocking policies for JavaScript, Java, Flash and other plugins. Even [**PC World**][1] and the <a href= "http://blog.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2005/11/incomplete\_advice\_from\_uncle\_s.html" target="_blank">**Washington Post** security blog</a> encourage users to adopt NoScript for the safest web browsing.

In 2006, NoScript has been listed among PC World's <a href= "http://pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,125706,pg,14,00.asp" target="_blank">**The 100 Best Products of the Year**</a>.
For small jobs you will use my own skills (did I say I really like coding?), while for medium-large sized projects I will bring you all the fire-power of my company, InformAction.
