I work as an independent IT consultant and teacher, with many years of experience in software engineering (I started in 1982).My professional interests are at the intersection of software development methods, organizational patterns and communication aspects (I graduated in Philosophy and Italian Literature, before starting my work in IT).My professional activities have been mostly in requirements management, in business process analysis and in software systems analysis and design. I've also lead many projects of process improvement for software development.As a teacher, I've taught more than 400 courses in Italy, Switzerland, and Germany.I contribute to the evolution of software standards, such as UML (Unified Modeling Language) andSemat (Essence – Kernel and Language for Software Engineering Methods).I've published many articles in Italian and international software magazines.I am a member of ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) and AST (Association for Software Testing, where I'm also an instructor for Black Box Software Testing online courses.Specialties: Competence areas:- Requirements management- Business process analysis- Software process improvement- Software systems analysis and design- Data modeling- Programming- Testing---------------------------------------IT and Business related Standards:- UML- SysML- BPMN--------------------------------------Technologies:- Operating Systems: Unix, IBM mainframes, Linux, Microsoft, iOS, MacOS, Android- Modeling tools: Rational Suite, Enterprise Architect, MagicDraw, Visio- DBMS: DB2, Oracle, MySql- Languages: Java, JavaScript, PHP, Html, Cobol- Learning Management Systems: Moodle- Content Management Systems: Drupal, Wordpress
