NOT LOOKING AT THE MOMENT, I WILL UPDATE HERE WHEN THE SITUATION WILL CHANGE Coming from a small town in Sardinia where you can either stare at trees or chase cats, and considering the latter made him fall on a wood pole and almost die when he was 8 and made to survive to 18, Stefano Solinas moved to Pisa to check that the leaning tower was still up. This is where he met an Indian shaman that gave him the name obsidian (transformed to obsidianart for SEO). After 10 years in Pisa working as developer, designer, video editor and trainer, Stefano felt the call of a bigger city and took a plane to London. He's currently a JavaScript developer, spare time designer, and forum fairy when in a good mood. In the last years: JavaScript (Angular.js, Backbone.js, Underscore, jQuery, i18next, Node), HTML 5, CSS 3, Grunt, Cucumber, Mocha, Karma, omegaT, Photoshop, Illustrator. You can also check my GitHub, some things are there. Many are contribution to big libraries, I usually prefer to improve the wheel instead of reinventing it.
