about
This is my homepage. It is not about personal stuff, which is located somewhere else in this site. This is a page for people interested in my work or willing to hire me.
As this kind of pages tends to be boringly standardized and difficult to remember for vistors, I thought I could make it playable, so that who's spending his day staring at the screen, can take a small break while reading about me.
If you are interested in how this is done, I've been using jQuery plus a set of JS classes I wrote for timed animation and physics calculation... nothing too complex anyway, remember: it's just a browser. Even if it's heavily javascripted, it uses a set of tips to keep google indexing system working (at least should keep it doin').
Hint: there is a way to control the flying boxes in the site, find it if you can.

About me
My name is Dario Rossi, Italian, born in 1980. I'm a computer systems engineer, which means that I'm both a software engineer (Cs) and something amid a telecom engineer and an electronic engineer... I've been working in many environments and kind of projects: thanks to my great adaptability I can get into your work very easily and quickly. If you need me, means that you need a designer and developer with a great creativity and excellent skills. I'm not a code monkey and I always try to find challanging jobs. I'm fond in many sectors, especially:- System programming
- System architecture
- User interface design & development
- Complex web systems
- Anything dealing with multimedia, video, audio and pictures
- Projects that need complex analisys and theoretical studies

Work experience
April 2009 – October 2009
Engineering s.p.a. (Florence, Italy)(Contract)
Work on the in house built Business Management System (for the national health system). My job was to create a new Ajax presentation system, compatible with the current one (done with a Struts derivative).
I created a special markup language, based on XML, that allowed to easily present data, ajax widgets, with minimal effort and Java programming.
Technologies used: jQuery, Java, J2EE, Jsp, ORM (using a persistence framework they made, very similar to hibernate), Oracle, JBF (a struts derivative), XML, Xpath, JSON. This is one of the biggest system integrators in Italy and I really enjoyed working on a codebase shared with hundreds of developers (using SVN).
October 2007 – January 2009
Halley Software S.a.S. (Grosseto, Italy) (Contractor),
working on a in house made business managent system (Jazz Gestionale).
Technologies used: Java, .NET, .NET compact framework (c#) for system
bridging and Ajax (Dojo, some Mootools), php, Joomla, mysql for web-apps
and CMSs. Platforms used: Windows, MacOsx and Linux. The software was a
highly customizable solution for business management, that had to be
tailored for each customer needs. Key features: client server
application, using MySQL as DB and ad-hoc protocols, designed in house.
I was responsible of introducing this company (oriented to old
server-client GUI applications) to more modern web based paradigms,
version control systems and more...
April 2008 – June 2008
Health-Smart Plc (London, Uk) (Short collaboration)
Development of a user interface using Visual Studio C#, C++ , Winforms
and WPF (windows presentation framework), Expression Blend. The GUI was
intended for a health-care product that needed an appealing and modern
visual environment. I dealt with both graphic designers and other
developers working on other parts of the system.
April 2007 – October 2007
AR&S Research and Consulting (Follonica, Italy) (Contract)
Development of a tracking system: design, implementation, etc... Using
C#, C++ and PostgreSQL for the Data Collection Server, .NET Compact
Framework (C#) for Windows Mobile client (Data transmission and sensor
reading) and a Web Client (to read the data, just designed by me,
implemented by a third party). The most interesting part of this job has
been handling data from sensors (GPS devices via Bluetooth), designing
and implementing the protocols (UDP over GPRS) and the Server (ODBC and
strong multithreading to handle various features like client-to-client
messaging).
2005 – April 2007
Freelance : web (PHP, mySQL), programming (Java, C++, C#). Various
companies and clients.
