Vincenzo Petrucci

I think it's not easy for anyone to define themselves. On this page I tried. Did I succeed?

So who am I?

I am, primarily, a software developer.

I started working in this field in the very early years of this millennium. My first experiences were in the field of customized CRM development and telecommunications. I worked with a medium/large company of the time which, unfortunately, went bankrupt.

Many other experiences followed. From online gaming for HitStars, to communication for Pomilio Blumm and internet services with Netsons.

Throughout my career I've had the fortune to work on extremely challenging projects that have been used by some of the most prestigious European agencies. To name a few: European Central Bank, the European Parliament, Cedefop, eu-LISA, Frontex, EFSA (of which I keep wonderful memories), EU-OSHA, DG NEAR and DG COMM

Today I decided to "change my life" and founded illegal studio; a fully remote development and communication agency.

What am I passionate about?

Needless to say, I love my job and carry it forward with passion every day.

I like to contribute to existing Open Source projects or, when possible, develop new ones. You can find something in the sidebar under "My projects".
