Ciao!

I'm Antonello, I was born and raised in Rome, Italy, and now I'm living and working in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
I'm both a musician - I've played in a folk rock band and did some other related things - and a software engineer, where I've been helping companies in Italy and the Netherlands.
Below you'll fine some of the projects I've been working on, and here some travel photos.

Software

I'm a software engineer, and I've been helping different companies and agencies building their software, you can see my CV on LinkedIn and some of my code on GitHub.

I speak at conferences (check my Sessionize and JoindIn profiles), and these are some of the conference I've enjoyed (or will enjoy) speaking at:

CC Music Search

It's a search engine for Creative Commons music, written in Kotlin on and running on Google Cloud. It fetches music from Jamendo, Internet Archive and other services, by genres, instruments or other keywords.
You can try it on https://ccmusicsearch.com, and see source code on GitHub.

A map based travel photos gallery, with automatic place and weather description of the very moment the photos are taken. You can try it on http://pics.antodippo.com, and see source code on GitHub.

Music

Johnny Bemolle's

It's a folk/rock and chamber music project: we found some songs in an old suite case, all of them signed by Johnny Bemolle, a mysterious vagabond musician, and each of them talking about a different place. We (self) produced:
