About

Hi, I’m Andrea Gandino, an ordinary 25-yrs old guy from Genova, Italy. I enjoy music—I play (well, sort of) the electric guitar and I listen to a large variety of genres, taking pictures and reading nerderies in general, but what I do best is designing for the Web.

This site is my personal journal and, soon, portfolio. So, while waiting for this place to be filled with interesting material, here’s a quick note about me.

What I do

Web design

I create Web sites that are beautiful and accessible to all, respecting Web standards and accessibility and usability principles.

I have a large experience with (X)HTML and CSS, JavaScript and the WCAG.

Web development

I have a solid PHP/MySQL knowledge; in particular I find myself very comfortable and efficient using MVC frameworks like CodeIgniter or CakePHP.

I’m also totally in love with XML and the XSLT templating engine.

CMS wise, I enjoy working with Symphony, Wordpress, Textpattern, and Drupal.

Still here?

If, after reading all this, you’re still not fainted, here’s my email contact and my vcard for you as a prize:

Eh, what do you want, no one wants spam after all…
