Enrico is a web technologist with an Honours Bachelor degree from York University in Computer Science. He has expertise in web standards such as (X)HTML, CSS, and Javascript with a focus on cross-browser compatibility and accessibility, and has worked on a number of web projects, including the very blog you're reading right now.

He is Tenthline's Java expert, with broad experience in J2EE, Tomcat, Spring, Hibernate, JSF, NetBeans, Eclipse, Ant, Maven, JUnit, and Cobertura, to name only a few. He has done web content management work with Fatwire Content Server and Alfresco, and identity management work with Sun Identity Manager. He is also Tenthline's go-to guy for installing and maintaining the many VMWare machines we use to develop, test, and evaluate new software.

Enrico loves problem solving and higher mathematics. He has participated in a number of programming contests through TopCoder and has led York University programming contest teams to compete with the very best in the ACM regional programming contest in East Central North America. He is very diligent in his attention to small details and easily forms mental models of new software systems. Michael has told him that he's rather like an IDE, only more intelligent and with a much better personality.

Recently, he has been following trends in "Enterprise 2.0" and identity topics such as federation, SSO, and role management. He is a strong supporter of and advocate for open source and free software.

There is a story that has been making the rounds on tech sites about Rogers, one of the two major ISPs in Canada (the other, of course, is Bell).  Apparently, they’ve begun hijacking DNS in order to provide a “helpful” search for domain names that don’t resolve…  which is, of course, filled with their advertisements.  [...]

I found a really cool story here.
Turns out that the Fedora Project is rolling out a new system called “Fedora Talk” that allows contributors to sign in using standard VoIP hardware and software to talk to other Fedora contributors.  I think this is a really cool idea and a great application of VoIP technologies.  While [...]
