These are some projects I’ve taken part during the last years.

concrete5.it

concrete5 is a free and open source content management system (CMS). It enables users to edit website content directly from the page. This makes the platform easy to use with a minimum of technical skills.
In July 2010 I opened concrete5.it together with two university mates. Our aim was to create an Italian community of this powerful and promising CMS, helping people bringing them technical support and developing new features (add-ons, translations, themes, etc).

Research and Innovation Forum

I designed and developed a website for this scientific event together with other students, during a training period at the Innovation Laboratory of the University of Padova.

Angal Project – Open Hospital

The aim of this project, conceived by Informatici Senza Frontiere ONLUS, was to create a software, called Open Hospital, for an hospital in Angal (Uganda).
Thanks to our work, ordinary administrative and management practices were computerized and their efficency improved. In addition to that, more than 5 other hospitals in the world decided to adopt Open Hospital, especially in Africa, but also in Herat (Afghanisthan), owning to the ISAF Italian Command in that region.
I followed this project from its planning stages to its achievements.
