| PSC member | [Luserna San Giovanni, Italy](https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=luserna%20san%20giovanni#map=13/44.8010/7.2429) | ![Elpaso Profile Image](http://www.itopen.it/bulk/elpaso-profile-small.jpeg) |
**Introduction / main QGIS related activities**: I am an open source software developer and I live in Italy. By education I'm an agronomist with some topography and pedology background, but I turned to the dark side early in my career and I started programming any kind of device that has a chip inside as soon as their price dropped low enough. I started using Linux in 1994 and after some real work as an R&D data analyst for a big pharmaceutical company I started my own small business that was making map-based web applications for the touristic market (there was no Google Map and such at that time) and it is for this reason that I discovered GRASS, Mapserver, PostGIS and finally QGIS when I needed a GIS viewer.
Over the years I've made minor contributions to several open source projects and I created a bunch of QGIS Python plugins, but it is from the QGIS Lisbon Hack-Fest in 2011 that I really got involved within the community and my first big contribution was a new website for the fast growing set of QGIS Python plugins (the one that it is already in production today at https://plugins.qgis.org ).
8 years ago I re-started to write some C++ code and I'm now a QGIS core developer and a proud member of this amazing community.
**Motivation**: Help keep up the good things going! Personally I think that the actual PSC did an amazing job and I would have it re-elected it entirely. I accepted with enthusiasm when I was asked if I was available to eventually fill this hole.
