insomniac's lair

Welcome to my personal web page, I am Andrea Barberio. Here you'll find informations about me and what I do. If you're interested, of course ;-)

I am currently employed in an italian company, where I work as firmware engineer on embedded systems. My main roles are kernel hacking (Linux), system programming (POSIX/ANSI C), driver coding (again, on Linux), and reverse engineering. I mostly work on ARM platforms. If that doesn't sound funny to you, well, it is, at least for me :-).
I'm also student in Computer Engineering (last exams..), but in the past years I've studied mostly in the Telecommunications field.
I worked 10 years as IT consultant, and my main activities were teaching, system administration and python/C development, but also other fields, computer-related or not.
I am the system administrator of the Slackware Linux Project Italia, together with Francesco Mormile. I'm also one of the founders of the NaLUG (Napoli Linux Users Group), where I spend a lot of time and engagement. I also love to organize events with the NaLUG people, such as the last Linux Day 2008 and Linux Day 2009 in Napoli (Italy), whose photos and videos (including my talk and workshop) can be found on http://streaming.nalug.net and http://www.nalug.net.

You can find some public (small) stuff at the Projects page, like WiiMote videos and tools, and Arduino board stuff.
I actually have a lot of unpublished sources and projects, mostly due to my laziness :-) But also because not all of them are completed or stable. Some day I will finish and publish all of them (I hope).

See also this page, the italian translation of the amazing artice by Dan Yoder titled "Top Ten Reasons You Should Quit Facebook" (here the original one). You can find it also on the side navigation bar (move your eyes left).
