Who is behind the YABA idea ?
Giacomo Falcone
A moto trial and go-kart enthusiast, Giacomo holds a Master Degree in Computer Science from Turin University. After his graduation, he worked for 5 years in Marconi-Ericssonn as project leader in a team designing and implementing telecommunication systems.
In 1995 he founded STS SRL, a company focused in developing hardware and software solutions for industrial and telecommunications systems.
During the past 30 years Giacomo has:
- engineered over a dozen microprocessors and FPGA boards;
- developed high voltage systems for x-rays measuring devices;
- designed and produced systems for visual identifying of defects in industrial production lines
- built several backplane based boards
- written over a million lines of C++ code (line less or line more)
STS, still today owned and managed by Giacomo, is the main technical partner for the development of YABA.
Fanoel Nerini
Fanoel and Giacomo met back in 1999, when Fanoel started working as ASP developer in STS.
After moving to London and achieving a Master Degree in Digital Media at the London Metropolitan University, in 2003 he co-founded 77Agency, one of today’s leading European new media marketing agencies. Over the course of nearly 15 years he served as CTO of his company, developing strong expertise in managing agile development teams working on SaaS proprietary technologies providing automation and tracking solutions for internet marketing.
Feeling the need for new challenges, Fanoel teamed up with Giacomo to launch YABA.
His passions are new technologies, scuba diving and travel.
