Hello Again!

My name is Aldo Tripiciano, and I have been a software developer since 1992.

I was just 9 years old back then, but that's when I started messing around with my uncle's C64 and writing simple QBASIC routines.

Lots of stuff happened since then - but to get straight to the point, let me tell you a short story.

In 2006 I graduated in IT at the University of Rome - Tor Vergata. Back then, I was already an experienced web developer, and my master's thesis consisted in the creation of a custom CMS - that I called Castalia. Castalia was a modular and worked drag & drop CMS, a concept that today - 11 years later - is becoming very popular between multimillion companies in the commercial CMS scene.

My career has since then grown a lot, both as a consultant and as an entrepeneur. I got to work for some of the World's biggest institutions such as the United Nations and the European Commission (full story in my LinkedIn profile!), leading important projects such as the European External Action Service website.

All of a sudden, in 2014, I started the development of Quanta CMS (https://www.quanta.org). It all began as an exercise to keep my brain alive, and started really small, with a much simpler data model than the current one. I started using Quanta give away free websites to my friends and family members, who would at the same time give me feedbacks, and help me improving it.

There is still a long way to go, and we are well determined to keep walking this way!
