Interests

Apart from being developer and IT passionate, I like to have social interaction with friends, grow up my little boy and visit countries around. I am a regular practitioner of many sports as running, cycling and tennis. During Winter I usually do skiing in Alps. During summertime, I like to do body-surfing on atlantic coast. When the weather is not friendly, I spend part of my time watching spying movies or series and exploring IT solutions.
