Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaurizio La Cecilia is a veteran software developer and owner of a Computer Consulting Firm with over three decades of experience building business and financial applications, especially using xBase dialects from dBase and Clipper through to modern Harbour. He combines hands-on development—contributing bug fixes and enhancements to the widely used harbour/core project—with ICT consulting, RAD/CASE development and e-learning platform design and administration (Moodle, BigBlueButton, Joomla).

Based in Apulia, Italy, he brings a rare blend of archival knowledge of 1980s-era tooling and current open-source interoperability work (OpenSSL/cURL linkage), making him valuable for modernization of long-lived enterprise systems.
