About Me

I'm a free thinker, a lifelong learner and a technology enthusiast involved in several Open Source projects. I've been working with Semantic and Social Web technologies since 2006 for R&D and industrial partners, having the chance to join 3 startups, learn a lot of things and meet really exciting people. I've a passion for Artificial Intelligence and in particular for all that disciplines related to Natural Language Processing. In my spare time I love hacking and playing with Electronic. Sometimes I enjoy playing my music keyboard and shot cool pics. You can find me around Internet mainly with nicknames hardest and micmos.
