IT Engineer & Long-time Forth Developer based in Venice, Italy, with over 25 years of experience in technical analysis, application operations, and insurance systems.
I graduated in Economics from Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia in 2000, after serving with the Lagunari Italian amphibious troops.
My Passion: Forth & ZX Spectrum Next
Since 1990 I have been developing vForth, a Forth system for the ZX Spectrum 48K and especially optimized for the ZX Spectrum Next.
I actively contribute to the community by:
- Maintaining vforth-next with full Z80N support and hardware integration (Layer 2, sprites, DMA, copper, sound, NextOS)
- Writing technical articles for the official SpecNext Developer HQ
- Sharing videos and presentations on my YouTube channel
- Administering the Facebook group Forth on the ZX Spectrum, Next and 48K
- Contributing on other Facebook groups on Spectrum Next) and Next Basic
I also enjoy exploring quantum computing and playing guitar in my free time.
