I started studying HTML more in 1998 during high school, and since then I've never stopped learning about the new technologies that arise in the web, keeping myself updated through the use of RSS feeds earlier and Twitter now.
On the Client Side, I've always believed in and tried to reach the perfect division between semantic HTML markup and presentational CSS, trying to balance the clients' requests for a pixel-perfect design with the new techniques brought by modern browsers and with the cardinal idea of a web accessible to all.
On the Server Side, I develop with PHP and MySQL, focusing on reusable code and security matters, with the use of htaccess files as well. My knowledge of LAMP is useful when I have to manage clients' servers or coding issues.
In 2010 I spent most part of the year studying HTML5, CSS3 and the JavaScript libraries (like Modernizr and Selectivizr) that allow the compatibility of these languages with older browsers. I've been so enthusiastic about these issues that through my own initiative I translated HTML5 Boilerplate in Italian.
Nowadays my interest is towards the new techniques and technologies that are involved in the web development for mobile devices.

I created XHTML/CSS/JavaScript templates from PSD files, using SEO friendly markup and crossbrowser techniques to achieve pixel-perfect designs, from newest browsers to IE old versions, according to the clients' needs. I worked side by side with the graphic designers, combining their ideas with my technical knowledge and experience in the web field.
Using PHP and MySQL, I developed cms to facilitate the management of websites for small and big companies, with an eye on the user interface, adapting it for less technically experienced users.
I was involved in the planning and development of web-based accounting software, which was custom-made according to our client's needs and daily feedbacks.
For the development of this software I mostly used object-oriented PHP, AJAX, RTF (for the creation of documents) and I successfully installed a LAMP server in the company offices.
This project also offered me the opportunity to improve my knowledge of jQuery, which was an important part in the creation of a clear, easy-to-use and fast user interface, enabling the filling of hundreds of daily forms.
