Software workmanship
I'm an enterpreneur since 1997, software developer in Lua since 2006, IT expert with a passion for animated drawing.
I build iOS and Android apps and games, web apps, Joomla websites and Moodle e-learning platforms.
I have developed interactive tools and software solutions as audio-visual communication activities for mobile devices and the web. I write software with passion and care in a mixture of arts, ability, experience and imagination that I have built in about thirty years of professional working in the Information Technology, Visual rendering and TV/Movies/Animation production industries
App
I started developing apps and games for iOS and Android devices with Corona SDK in 2013. I build apps on a shared codebase compiled for publishing on the various platforms (iOS, Android, AppleTV, Mac OSX and Win32).

How
- Keep constantly updated: following trends, news and forecasts.
- Ideas and story: ideas sharing, brainstorming and creative talks are my ways to lead the project to it's destination target.
- Drawing: I do lots of sketches and drawings to see ideas and do accurate rendersto verify the results.
- Meticolous planning: I try hard to fail fast and spot the errors. It allows to develop, fix and redo before entering production (reducing costs and risks).
- Prototyping: fast and effective simulations of the product to test the interface and the interactions of the people that uses it.
- Feedback: I keep regularly updated about activities and progress involving directly in tests and revisione those who are interested in the product development.
- Production: I work usually on iterative cycles: development, coding, test and fixing. I create and edit the text, video and audio elements needed.
