Fabio Alessandro Locati is an Italian IT external consultant. His main areas of expertise are Linux, networking, security, data centers, and web applications. With nearly 10 years of work in the field, he has experienced a lot of different IT roles, technologies, and languages. Fabio has worked in many different companies, from single-man companies up to huge companies such as Tech Data. This has allowed him to see the various technologies from different points of view, making him able to develop critical thinking and to understand if a technology is the right one in a very short time. As he is always on the lookout for better technologies, he always tries the new technologies to see the advantages over the old ones. For web development, he often uses PHP with Laravel due to its power and simplicity since he discovered it in the early part of 2012. Fabio has used Laravel for public websites as well as for intranet applications.
