Resume of RENATO MANCUSO Software Developer, UX Designer

Software analyst Central Bank of Italy

Rome (ITALY) / 2007-present

In these past nine years I have been working on several in house projects, either as product designer, front end developer, analyst, or project manager. My main areas of work are digital product design (web and mobile), usability, and accessibility.

These are some of my latest projects:

• redesign of the web site of the Financial Ombudsman (2016)
• redesign of the corporate web site of the Insurance Authority (2016)
• design and development of the new e-recruiting application (2015)
• redesign of the main corporate web site (2014)

Scientific Consultant ISMETT

Palermo (ITALY) / 2005-2007

I helped ISMETT securing funds for the creation of the Ri.MED Foundation by developing a vision of the research areas that the Foundation would focus on.

Lecturer University of Palermo

Palermo (ITALY) / 2004-2007

I developed, and taught, to postgraduate students in biotechnology and medical sciences, a bioinformatics course aimed at providing practical tools for solving practical research problems.

Senior Software Engineer European Bioinformatics Institute

Cambridge (UK) / 2001-2004

I rewrote/redesigned most of the C++ and SQL backend software dedicated to the processing, storage, and publishing of genomic research data, so that, despite the largely increased volumes of data submitted by the automated genome sequencing projects, the entire pipeline kept running in a timely fashion without having to buy new servers. At the time I left, the Oracle db had grown over 1 TB in size and contained about 50 million bibliographic records. A representative sample of the software I was writing at the time is the C++ Phoenix EMBL Parser hosted at bioinformatics.org.

Junior Software Architect Smarten srl

Rome (ITALY) / 2000-2001

I developed a custom C++ logging module to help diagnose performance and programming problems in Smarten billing engine (Smarten was a product for small/medium-size telcos).

Junior Programmer European Bioinformatics Institute

Cambridge (UK) / 1996-2000

I did the usual things that a junior programmer does: I wrote code, I read programming books, I attended conferences, and I seriously underestimated tasks.

MSc in Biology University of Palermo (ITALY)
