I am Antonello Provenzano, originally from Palermo (Sicily), but currently living in Switzerland.

In my daily life, I work as a consultant for Solutions Architecture at Fincons Group, while in my free time, I like to hack some open-source projects, and from time to time try to develop some ideas that might be interesting to test.

My experience as a developer started when I was 10 years old and I received from my parents a Commodore-64, that all my friends used to play games, but that I have exploited by using BASIC programs found in a math book. Those were the days!

Aside from my passion for software development, I am also a TOGAF certified architect, Azure Solutions Architect and as Contributor to the Well-Architected Framework (WAF) by Microsoft.

From time to time I share some thoughts on the matter of Enterprise Architecture on my personal blog: feel free to reach out if you have remarks (positive or negative) and ideas.

Many years ago (back in 2001) I established the brand Deveel, which I used to deliver some projects I was working on: at the beginning, it was nothing else than a website and a logo, but through time I made it to become an individual legal entity to provide IT consultancy services.

Although the legal entity still exists, I moved on and returned Deveel to its original scope of an umbrella under which to release (mainly) open-source projects.

You can explore all the projects released as Deveel in its GitHub organization space.

I must admit that contrary to the past, I am now better at creating new projects, rather than collaborating with existing ones, for the main reason that I am currently just a hobbist developer since my day job is of another kind (still in IT, but not involving coding): I use my free time to experiment new methodologies, technologies, and frameworks, and while conducting my experiments and studies, I may find (or think to have found) some open spots that could be of interest for the community.

Projects I am Working On...

• Deveel.Webhooks - A .NET framework for the management and delivery of webhooks to subscribing applications
• Deveel.Repository - A low-ambitions framework to implement the concepts of Clean Architecture and establish Repository Patterns to mediate the access to data sources

Archived Projects (I was proud of)

• DeveelDB - Formerly named Minosse RDBMS, it was the first SQL RDBMS for .NET
• CloudB - Years (many years) before Azure CosmosDB, this was a distributed database system with a hybrid data model (supporting at the same time Key/Value, newSQL and GraphDB)
