ABOUT ME:

I am basically an engineer. I graduated long ago in Electrical Engineering, worked in the electronics and telecommunications industries, caught the IT revolution (IBM for 13+ years) and got an MBA. Later I joined a small innovative company that was creating (and failed) a portal generator for communities (long before Facebook et al.) but succeeded in domotics and building automation with its own architecture and products and a quite good commercial website that avoided a dedicated sales force. Eventually, it went down (owners had evaded taxes for too long and too much) and I joined the academic world, where I am right now, researching in logistics of maritime transportation (specifically port competition) and engaging in a PhD programme.
