Nicola Larosa’s Summary

I've been designing and developing software since 1990, administering computer systems since 1994, using mostly Free/Libre Open Source Software technologies since 1999, contributing to various FLOSS projects since 2001, and managing projects from home since 2002.
My experiences in software development span a large part of the available technologies, both FLOSS and proprietary, with an emphasis on the Python programming language and its web/internet frameworks.
I have good systems and network management and security practice.
I team up with several FLOSS projects, and am prominent in the Italian Python community.
I have extensive technical knowledge and experience in the field of audio, music and acoustics.
I am an Italian language native speaker, have good English language skills, both oral and written, and am an accomplished VoIP / IM / IRC / email communicator.
I telecommute from my home office, am available for fixed-term projects, favoring those released under FLOSS licenses, and appreciate compensation benefits that are proportional to final revenue.
