Welcome to Giovanni Sce Web Site

I was born and raised in Milan, Italy. At age 16 I decided to make a long and pleasant parenthesis in my life to live in the Tuscan countryside managing my family's farm. This experience was not only personally gratifying but proved to be educational. In 1993 I graduated from Pavia University with a degree in "Computer Science for Telecommunications" following which I joined Italtel as a software engineer.
In 1998 I moved to New York City where I initially worked at Telesoft America, a telecommunications software company now absorbed by Telecom Italia.
In recent years I have been working at Randomwalk Computing, a software house specialized in financial applications.

Due also to the incredible international exposure which I have experienced in New York City I have developed a strong interest in international affairs, particularly regarding Latin America.

In 2002 with the combination of my personal interests coupled with my professional life, I developed a strong interest in the Global Digital Divide. To this extent, I founded DigitalRight.org a nonprofit and non partisan association that aims at narrowing the global digital divide.


Interests
I used to have a strong passion for hiking, but since I left the Alps I haven't done much of it.
I still cultivate my sailing passion and I strongly prefer the British Virgin Islands to NYC harbour.

Projects
In the spare time from the paid job I work on personal projects intended to learn more and possibly contribute to the Global Digital Divide matter.
Among these tasks there is a bachelor degree on "ICT for Sustainable Development" that will eventually allow me to proceed with further studies in this field. These studies greatly stimulate me to delve into the various issues linked to ICT and sustainable development and in some cases to produce some results that may be worth to share.

Beside Digitalright.org I'm working on other web sites that will be posted here when they will be operational. I also offer my help to other organizations like "Aid and Education", Global Exchange, World Computer Exchange, and more.
