Since 1989 he has been carrying out consultancy activities offering his experiences in various sectors such as the design and management of telematic networks, security and business process control (Business Administration).
Over the years he has developed many network projects (LAN, MAN, WAN and Wi-Fi) for the major telecommunication providers (such as Telecom, Fastweb, BT Global Services, AT&T, etc.), in some cases also taking care of the delivery and the assurance of technical solutions.

Working in the field of industrial process control, he has gained considerable experience both in the production and operational processes, as in the verification of operational and corporate accounting records, also working for some of the major consulting companies such as KPMG and Capgemini .
Combining the experience gained at a technical level in the areas of networking / IT, Security and Business Control, he was also involved as a Security Analyst and Consultant in many projects of multinational companies and for some government agencies, where he was able to use the knowledge background gained especially in the area of NIST and NSA collaborations.

In the international field he also collaborates as a researcher in the topics of security and hyper-fast communication in the connections of medical and analysis systems used above all in the Oncology and Hematology field, combining experience in the field of molecular biology and IT security, carrying out research at the University of Tennesse and MIT itself.
At the University of Tennesse he is the coordinator of the DHS (Diagnostic Helper System) research project aimed at creating an aid system for medical diagnostics and therapy through the use of neural networks and Bayes probabilistic matrices.

He was an adjunct professor at the University of Insubria where he held a specialist course in Security of Advanced Networks as part of the degree course in Information Science.
He collaborates with prestigious universities and has numerous speeches also at an international level, including for example the prestigious Bologna Business School and others.
