In the software industry for the past 15 years, Dino developed hands-on experience and skills in architecting and building distributed systems for banking and insurance companies and, in general, in industry contexts where the demand for security, performance, and interoperability is dramatically high. Today, he focuses almost entirely on .NET technologies with a particular interest for ASP.NET, data access, and workflow applications. He offers training, mentoring, and consulting services through Solid Quality Learning—a recognized worldwide leader in the industry—in both Europe and United States.

Every month, at least five different magazines and Web sites throughout the world publish Dino’s articles covering topics ranging from Web development to data access and from software best practices to Web services. Prolific author, Dino writes monthly the "Cutting Edge" column for MSDN Magazine and the ASP.NET-2-The-Max newsletter for the Dr.Dobb’s Journal. Considered an authoritative and acknowledgeable expert in Web applications built with .NET technologies, Dino contributes to the Microsoft’s content platform for developers and IT consultants. Check out his articles on a variety of MSDN Developer Centers such as ASP.NET, security, data access.

Still requested, quoted and, more importantly, used by developers worldwide is “Visual C++ Windows Shell Programming”, Apress, which dates back at 1998 and remains the unique reference for whoever plans to extend the navigation capabilities of the Windows operating system.
