Advocating Software Freedom

Well done! You reached a business-card!

I usually work as full stack web developer—whatever it means. I like designing relational databases and content management systems. I like sysadmining GNU/Linux environments and offering self-hosting services.

If you want to talk with me about an awesome idea in which I also should invest, please give up (because in that case you need an investor, not a programmer).

I love writing software that respects the digital freedom of my costumer and of his/her users.

OpenPGP key
What's this?

If you don't know about OpenPGP, have fun with my "indovinello del cattivo corriere" (IT).

E-mail

These are my e-mail addresses. If I write to you from other addresses, it's not me.

  • boz at reyboz dot it
    Write me here for whatever reason. It's a safe e-mail account, hosted by myself.

  • gnu at linux dot it
    Write me here to talk about freedom and free software.

  • direttore at linux dot it
    Here we can talk about Italian Linux Society.

For the records: it is not a crime to send me an OpenPGP encrypted e-mail!
