Vittorio Beltracchi

I am born and spent most of my life in Italy till 2012 when I decided to venture out to Australia. I am a jack of many trades, having worked as a system administrator, computer technician, web designer, teacher and tutor … with the passion for Arts and Writing.
I published my first book, “Incoscienti Stati Coscienti”, in 2011, also available as an e-book. Meantime, I am working on new novels and poems.
I have done many paintings, of which two have been sold and many are gifted to my friends.
I moved to Australia in February 2012 in search of a new perspective in life. Perhaps, I have found it. I am currently working towards a software development qualification in Canberra.

IT and Technical
Creativity and Design

My professional growth is focused on IT/ICT area, and I held for five and half years the position of System and Network Administrator, covering also different aspects of the IT Industry and the IT for Public Services. Along with the various Microsoft, Linux and Apple Operative Systems running on stand alone and cluster server solutions, I worked with Virtual Systems VMWare ESXi, I have been DBA on Oracle 9i database, I configured and managed various CISCO devices and FORTINET firewalls, built and managed wired and wireless networks, implementing also Hyper-LAN and WiMAX technologies. I have been Help Desk and Support contact covering all level. As System Administrator I faced different Mail Server and Application Server, also IBM ESB/Websphere. I worked on security, logical with user/access control and Proxy solution, and physical from standard Backup/Restore to Disaster Recovery implementation. I could use Nagios to monitor every aspect of any System and SOAP to test web services and application. I learnt, managed and developed on Axway Synchrony to manage file transfert on Windows and on IBM Mainframe, while consulting in a Banking reality.

I am studying now Software Development, in Australia, to prove my skills also in this field of the immense IT area. All the languages covered are: Java, C++ and C#, HTML5/CSS3, PHP, JavaScript, SQL and PL/SQL.

About web design, my skills are here to see. I can work with and without the most common CMS, and I enjoy creating interfaces and contents. If required I can apply any level of accessibility and usability.

A quick learning ability and flexibility in using different hardware and software helped me to gain most of my experience. I worked both alone and in team, always achieving and clearing big and small milestones of any project.

This is just a little introduction of my set of skill in IT/ICT, I can show and prove I am suitable 360° over any requirement, just give me a go.

Passion. One word to say everything. I learnt mostly by myself how to draw, how to compose, how to capture instants of life and transform them in art, photography and sketches. Doodling all the time, I practice my technique, but I don’t like to box myself in a category while I am talking about “art”. I love it all, and I love to experiment with different styles and materials, as you can see in my Works section here on the website. I am finding my way about illustration and character designing, as you can see here around. But talking about painting is different and feelings are then expressed in other thousands ways, but is Character Design a good point to focus on and develop every day. My spare time is dedicated to this, hand drawing something, looking for inspiration in my real life, in a book, in a song…

I developed very good skills in digital design, using Adobe Photoshop, and I have also sufficient knowledge of Adobe Illustrator. I work with Adobe InDesign to paginate report, booklet, flyer and documents too.

About WebDesign I can feel the mesh-up between technology and design. Check the Technical part to know more.

I published a book, more info on this website about it, and I am still writing during my spare time. I kept a lesson of creative writing at the Australian National University as invited lecturer, where I talked to the Italian Studies class about inspiration, composition and everything I faced in this business.

Incoscienti Stati Coscienti

This is my first publication, a book, a collection of poems. Is it weird for an IT professional? Maybe a little, but art and writing are not fields that must stay on their own, as IT or any other area. Life is cool because it is possible move in between many different interests and tasks, without losing anything at all. And it is very useful spacing out your “box” often, generally speaking also to find new approach to your everyday life. The title is a little hard to translate, it has different meanings depending on your point of view, but practically refers to conscious and unconscious situations, that blend each other and bring us to dream and to face fears, to love and to describe, to look at things in different way.
It is a collection of poems, 65 chosen between hundreds that I have written from 17 years old to my 27 (in 2011). Ten years of thoughts and paper scraps filled with ink, in good, bad, awful and very good way… I have chosen a reasonable number of a little bit of everything, because I am not regretting also the bad things I wrote.

Three are in English, and they represent the musical period I was crossing and that kind of hope in the end of the anger. Love poems are the main theme, as usual Editors like to pick those, talking about introspective analysis are the other side. Some article went around in my hometown area and north of Italy about me and the book. Many public presentations, TV interviews Nation-wide and then I left to Australia, leaving the book walking on its feet. I still follow it sometimes, but all I could do is done.

You can buy it in paperback or e-book on Il Filo, Amazon, La Feltrinelli, Il Mosaico, Unilibro, or order it from the shop on this web-site only on paperback version, straight from Italy.
