About Me

Hi there,
you’re welcome in my blog! ‘m Diego Cilea, student
I  studied @ University of Pisa in Computer Science class, faculty of Science  and i’ve obtained the master degree in Computer Science in February 2009.

I’ve many interests, expecially in Computer Science and new technologies.

In this context i’ve been involved in many software and Web projects during my University career, some of these were argument for exams that i’ve been sustained in these years.
I’m specialized in Java Language, used along the university’s years and during my free time.
Although in my studies, Java is the privileged language, i’ve also acquired many skills in many other languages and technologies.
Here follow a list of the most important:

Java environment:
-Java 5.0
-J2Me and bluetooth implementations Device2Device and Device2PC
-Jini(In a little company of Sarzana(SP), Apai Srl, Where i worked for one year as developer)
-Jsp, Servlet + Tomcat, J2EE
-Red5 Open Source Steraming Server
-Spring Framework + Liferay CMS development
-JavaBeans

Other languages:

- C#
- C++ (expecially wxWidgets library)
- Ansi C (base knowkledge)
- Javascript + JQuery
- HTML/XHtml/Asp.NET/CSS
- Php (studying)
- Flash and Actionscript (and applications in Red5 Streaming Server)

OSes:
- Linux Os(expecially network security) and kernel structure.
- Windows Os
- Mac Os

Other technologies/services:

- Apache Web Server(base knowledge) & Tomcat
- MySQL/PostGre/Access database(and Sql language)
- Network security and implementations(theory and practice), included Wi-Fi, ipTables
- BIND Dns server

In this context i’ve beeen involved in my master thesis in Enel s.p.a. with the title: VM introspection for Scada system’s assurance. Very challenging argument!

In this moment i’m also studying, in my free time, expecially two arguments

- HoneyNet (use and implementation) and nort,
- Virtual Machines (use and mechanisms).

The next interest will be VoIP and RFID technology or what else?

In my personal hobbies there are many other things, sports for example: Soccer, Tennis, Running, gym, cycling, sometime swimming.
Another “sport” is playing with pc/console and get a perverse thrill out a continuous mental torture with logical games and problems.
