About Me

Alessandro

I work as a software designer and developer. Sometimes I even find the time to write. I coauthored the book Professional Scala and written different articles both for IT magazines and my personal blog.

I’ve been programming since 1989–I wrote my first LOC in Pascal at the age of thirteen. At that time web and mobile applications did not exist yet. By the way “applications”, then, were still called programs. Since then I’ve been using different paradigms and languages.

I have an extensive experience both with object-oriented and functional design and programming.

From a typing point of view I’m more a static typing guy. I understand, however, that sometimes dynamic typing could be the right choice for the problem at hand. So static typing whenever possible and dynamic typing only when needed.

At the moment, I’m mostly involved in designing and developing applications using Scala, NoSQL and other technologies.

I also hold a degree in telecommunications engineering.

If you need to contact me, I suppose you can guess my e-mail address on gmail knowing my first and last name.

You can also find me on LinkedIn, GitHub and Twitter.
