About fdiotalevi
I'm a freelance/entrepreneur currently living in London, UK. I've done several interesting (and less interesting) things in the last 10+ years, as employee, freelance and entrepreneur in Italy, Germany, the UK and US.
At the moment I'm working as a freelance, doing architecture reviews, performance assessments and development in Java, Ruby and Javascript. Trying to improve my node.js knowledge.
My website is http://www.diotalevi.com
