Profile
I'm Vincenzo, a passionate belgian web-entrepreneur, web-developer and web-addict.
I have very strong skills and experience in managing and working on web applications projects (project management tool, social networks, e-commerce, ...)
In 2007 I have created Pepper & Koffee, a belgian web agency specialized in web applications development.
I 'm happy playing with web development languages such as Ruby on Rails and, in the same time, running a business as a project/financial/commercial manager.
