Aurelio De Rosa
I'm an Italian web and app developer with more than 5 years' experience programming for the web using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and PHP. I mainly use the LAMP stack and frameworks like jQuery, jQuery Mobile, Cordova (PhoneGap) and Zend Framework but my interests also include web security, web accessibility, SEO, WordPress and everything I can put my hands on. In the little spare time left, I contribute to the open source community writing libraries for PHP as well as jQuery plugins. Currently I'm self-employed working with the cited technologies. I'm also a regular blogger for several networks (SitePoint, Tuts+, FlippinAwesome) where I write articles about the topics I usually work with and more.
