Joe Maffia’s Summary
I’m a self-starter, willing to learn and take ownership of my role; able to work with limited supervision, show initiative where relevant and multitask. I’m also a good humoured team player and I have confidence dealing with people at all levels of an organisation.
Absolutely Open-Source because information should be for everyone!
Absolutely Apple user because: ”is there something better?”
In the last years I focus my attention on Apple Mac OS X and Apple hardware, developing some applications in Cocoa and Objective-C, indeed these have been the base arguments for the study of my thesis: “Cocoa & Rendezvous for ZeroConf networks”.
As final work of my studies I developed an application that use Rendezvous (now called Bonjour), an amazing technology that enables automatic discovering of computer, devices and services on IP networks.
I continue to develop & design websites using HTML, Flash, CSS, JSP, Java, CMS like Joomla or Mambo and develop application in many language like C, C++, Java, Jsp, Servlet, MySQL, FileMaker, 4th Dimension and sure Cocoa & Objective-C.
Absolutely I have an optimal knowledge of the mainly operating systems from Windows to Unix and sure Mac OS X (for me the best) & OS 9; an optimal knowledge also of Adobe suite and Office!
In the last five, six years I spent a lot of time in live concerts like an audio engineer and in some recording studios for some productions; for this reason I know a lot of audio equipments and music professional software (Logic Pro, Peak, ProTools etc.). I'm really addicted to music.
Joe Maffia’s Specialties:
Am willing to tear down walls, build bridges, and light fires. I have lots of energy, a bit of that “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish” and I’m not afraid to start from the beginning.
