|
| BACKGROUND |
|
Background information, personal statement, URL, or other information
you would like posted in connection with your name on the ICANN
website.
|
| I'm actually working in the Internet field as a professional. In the past I've been an active member of the net community because of my interest in programming and application development. This passion led me to a job related to Internet as an application developer. In my projects you can see E-Commerce and Business2Business applications, active server pages enabled sites and much more. I've got a good grasp of the network itself, how it works (technically speaking) and how people behave on it. In the latest years I managed to push myself into domain name rules (in part for work and in part for pure interest) and I'm facing people registering domains every single day and so I know what the difficulties are and how to solve problems and get in touch with people and explain how things works (it could be hard to apply the current rules for registering a domain, especially in Italy).
Here's a short list of what I've done (Internet-related).
Developed Projects:
· Accounts management utilities for Linux machines.
· CGI scripts embedded in HTML pages (counters, animations, etc..)
· HTML pages use on my own web site (http://www.mediacom.it/~tanis).
· Hateseed.com - an online game-related electronic magazine developed in ASP (http://www.hateseed.com).
