I currently work as a tech consultant for Accenture in Italy, but I would like to move to London and work for a software company with a strong software culture. The first big project in Accenture that I worked on was an image recognition service that calculated KPIs and metrics of the shelf layout in supermarkets. Think of a panorama app to capture a whole shelf mashed together with Google Goggles to recognize specific products. In this project I designed the information workflow, the mobile app for Symbian and Android, the back-office tools. I directly contributed to the code of the Android application, improving performance and stability and even building new features. I was considered an SME of the whole solution and I was chosen more than once to participate in knowledge transfer sessions with new teams and managers. The second big project I worked on was a knowledge sharing intranet portal, integrating multiple systems and allowing the user to search on them from a single page. Here I had a smaller involvement in the design of the solution: I was in charge of security, data model, and the web-services. I quickly became very knowledgeable about the entire solution architecture, given that I acted as a bridge between the business and dev teams. After project go-live I was nominated to maintenance coordinator, thanks to my knowledge of the system, and I got the chance to supervise teams of 5 and 2 people in the Philippines and India. In my free time I'm working on a manga reader app for Windows Phone 7.5 (w/ custom reading functionality and web scraping on manga portals), an open-source transfer manager library for Windows Phone 7.5 (https://github.com/ceoloide/DownloadManager https://github.com/ceoloide/DownloadManager) and in the spare time contributing to the code of the upcoming metwit.com Android app (although very small time is left to do that). When I don't code I participate to the Appsterdam meetings here in Milan.
