Leandro Ardissone

I have been programming professionally for more than 12 years, and have been programming in my spare time for fourteen years. My professional work is writing web applications using various technologies, and working with web standards. In my personal experiments I have been programming many applications for various needs: stock control systems, content management, news trackers, internet spiders, intranet systems, IMs, audio, XML parsers, administration systems, and more. I also been worked with audio edition and composition. Also played with game programming and generative art. I am proficient in many programming languages, environments, and operating systems, and can pick up new ones in the blink of an eye.

I'm an arts enjoyer. I'm passionate with movies and tv shows and I'm a big music addict.
I've studied arts just for fun, and I enjoy to compose music.
I like to travel, know my country as much as possible, and adventure.
I love to experiment new things all the time, in any aspect.
