I think software programming is like art. Like an artist turns marble to a sculpture, a programmer turns 0s and 1s (what computers are made of) to... emotions! Then a program is the expression of the programmer fantasy: the more creative he is, the more the end user will appreciate his work.

I'm a C++ freelance developer currently based in Italy; I'm skilled in VC++, STL, Win32 API, MFC, Winsock, DirectX and OpenGL. I can design and implement systems or work with you on your project maintenance. My speciality is the development of special graphic effects that can add a professional touch to your programs: for a quick example, please take your time to try Dinoflagellates.

Here you can find my latest articles on programming magazines:
