Also known as Fed in the English-speaking world, Federico has an intriguing eclectic approach to technology. In love with it since he was 12 - back in the days of the Commodore 64 - he betrays it on a regular basis: first with ballet and contemporary dance, then with synchronised swimming, recently with Japanese language and culture. Mostly a Java/Scala developer and Linux/Mac OS user, over the course of 20+ years he has had commercial experience in several other platforms and programming langua... moreges, from C++ to iOS/Android to Python to Angular. Currently he concentrates on (technical) training and education, but hasn't really decided what he wants to do when he grows up yet!
