About me
My name is Silvio Cuti, I'm nearing to 36 and have been into the vast territory of Digital Media for over two decades now. Starting in the 8Bit age, studying graphics and programming in Basic and Assembler on the glorious Commodore64 in the late eighties, i continued to extend my multimedia Skills in all sectors trough the Commodore Amiga 16Bit Platform till the mid nineties.
In this period i also learned to enjoy teaching. My workshops for the children of the lower secondary education consisted in 2D Graphics and Animation with Deluxe Paint and Personal Paint, 3D Graphics with Imagine2.0 and Cinema4D(for which i collaborated in translating the Handbook of the last Amiga Version), video titling and video presentation of all kinds of media with SCALA MM 400, and last but not least programming Demos in Basic and Assembler, all still on the 68k Amiga Platform.
From the late nineties on i moved to Apple, Microsoft and Linux Platforms, starting my own companies focused on IT services to 360 ° facing businesses and consumers, building web sites for over ten years.
In the meantime from 2002 to 2005 i also worked on a series of award winning Thriller/Horror Short Movies from the Director/Producer Alex Visani, extending my experience to video editing, special FX and basic compositing.
Also working in the social care sector, in the last four years I've been managing and training disabled teenagers and grown ups in Graphic Design and Web Development through Open Source Software. Challenging psychological and physical boundaries, exploiting the natural curiosity and spontaneous interests of a group of 30 disabled teenagers, together besides other projects we build a Social CMS and a crash course involving Open Source Technologies like, Apache, PHP, MySQL, XHTML, CSS, GIMP and INKSCAPE.
In 2010 i took a sabbatical year, moving recently to London. I am looking now for a full-time or part-time permanent Job as PHP Developer or similar position in the London area.
I believe that my long technical experience and education will make me a very competitive candidate, so please see my resume for additional information on my experience.
