Brief personal presentation
Hi folks!
My name is Vittorio Memmo, I'm a experienced professional from Italy in a wide range of Information Technology products and services.
My experience is primarly focused on Linux based server systems and Open Source solutions in general thanks not only to my researcher cultural background in high performance computing environments but to my deep on-the-field application capabilities.
Fedora Linux has been a distinctive key point in my professional activity despite the scepticism some customers had shown in favour of commercial oriented Linux distributions.
During my job activity as a IT Consultant, System Engineer, Field Application Engineer and System Analyst I’ve achieved many successful objectives leveraging my expertise in researching the solution to problems other persons couldn’t find.
Activities within Fedora
Success stories
Among the others I've realised:
The mini cluster has been developed for batch and real time execution of custom programs written in C++ and Fortran implementing algorithms for heavy calculations in various fields of applied Physics such as Fluid Dynamics and Digital Image processing that would require days or even weeks of execution time on normal equipped workstations.
In the meantime the department researchers can rely on a robust high-availability on-demand central calculation equipment for supporting Grid Mathematica® parallelization capabilities of running more calculation tasks in parallel.
Future plans
Presently I'm working on other ideas based on Fedora Linux.
Fedora is my reference Linux distribution. I'm looking forward to continue building Fedora based servers for the customers I'll work for.
Among my most recent projects:
Such projects are beeing studied by myself in my spare time which unfortunately are becoming more and more restricted in the last times so people that could work together on such field is welcome!
Other info
Vittorio Memmo was born in Lanciano, a little town located in Abruzzo region nearby the Adriatic Sea.
After having studied Physics in the university of Rome for 6 years specializing in cybernetics and applied electronics,
he started Exin Lab in 2000, a little personal business concerning information technology services
for small and medium enterprise customers.
In the meantime he kept on a deep research activity improving proficiency in high-end Grid and MPP cluster
systems for high-performance computing dedicated scientific applications.
He's dedicating many days of his life to studying, researching, testing, inventing.
Presently he works as a Information Technology Consultant for a big technology company delivering services
for governament, defence and research departments.
