In more than 15 years of professional career I had the chance to work on different software domains; from the embedded systems to the graphical user interfaces, passing through the operating systems, system libraries, system services and their administration, graphic libraries, command line tools, databases, and user-oriented services. Obviously, I can't brag about being a specialist in all these fields. In some I've developed a deeper knowledge, in others a more basic one. However, this wide spectrum of experiences allows me to have a good overview of complex software systems and to be able to move easily in it.
I try to spend time studying with a focus on the IT domain and IT project management. Then, I also try to explore other fields where I believe the IT could be of help, or viceversa from which I believe the IT field can learn something. For instance, I'm fascinated by economy, philosophy and history, but also education and innovation (especially if it can be useful for society). In pursuing these wider educational goals, I got an Executive MBA diploma 2021.

Approaching the speed of light with Debian: Debians' role in the worlds largest particle accelerator
CERN is the home of the LHC, the largest particle accelerator in the world accelerating protons to 99.9999991% of the speed of light (that’s ~300.000 km/s). To achieve smooth operation of the complex CERN has a wide variety of hardware, from desktop machines to servers to industrial PCs. Debian has been chosen as the next generation operating system for all industrial computers in charge of controlling the electronics of the LHC. This talk will explore the reasoning behind choosing Debian as our next operating system and the experience integrating it with an extensive legacy CentOS infrastructure.
