Andrea Moretti CV

Andrea Moretti
==============

I was Born in **1987** in **Rome** where I'm actually living. After a childhood spent on dreaming to become a scientist, I've firstly approached programming languages at 11 when I've casually found QBASIC on an old 486 laptop.

My **high school** was **"Liceo Scientifico Tullio Levi Civita"** (science and math).

Now I'm still studying **Computer Science** at **"Università La Sapienza"** in Rome. I should have already finished it, but I'm kind of a bad student. Everything I learn, I learn it by myself or working with inspiring people; but this do not help with exams. Then I've also spent **1 year** doing my **Erasmus** at **"Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria"**, this neither helps with exams, but being **able to live and work in a multicultural environment** has no price in my humble opinion.

I'm collaborating with **Eikona Photography and Digital Imaging** as a **Photographer**, **IT Specialist** and **Web Designer**

I also work as a freelance web developer for individuals and small companies.

Often I work as an author and technical reviewer for Packt Publishing

I do my best to help the open source community that so much gave to us for free.

I am an active member and speaker at RomaJS JavaScript user group.
