Biographie de l'auteur

Daniele Teti

Daniele Teti is a software architect, trainer, and consultant with over 18 years of professional experience. He writes code in a number of languages but his preferred language to compile native software is Object Pascal. Daniele is a well-known Delphi and programming expert in the developer community. He's the main developer and drives the development of some Delphi open source projects (DelphiMVCFramework; DORM, "the Delphi ORM"; Delphi Redis Client; and so on). He wrote his first program when he was 11 years old, and since then, he happily continues to write software almost every day. Apart from Delphi, he's a huge fan of design patterns, expert systems, RESTful architectures, and Android OS. When he is not busy writing software or programming (as his job or hobby), he likes to play the guitar, write songs, and do voluntary activities. Currently, he works as an R&D Director & Educational at bit Time Software (www.bittime.it), an Italian representative of Embarcadero Technologies (www.embarcadero.com). He recently became the CEO of bit Time Professionals, which is a spin-off company of bit Time Software; this company specializes in consultancy, training, and development. Being a software architect, consultant, and teacher for many Italian and European companies, he travels very often around the world. He is the Technical Director of ITDevCon, the biggest European Delphi conference (www.itdevcon.it). He's also an international speaker at many technical conferences. Daniele lives in Rome, Italy (where each photographer becomes an artist) with his beloved wife, Debora, and their little boy, Mattia.
