Hi, I'm Leonardo Risuleo, an italian, freelance (mobile) developer / designer and eternal student. I'm 28 years old and since the age of secondary school my greater interests are: design and old black music.
Before my programming studies my passion was making computer-graphic for advertising and personal projects. I love Flash development since I understood that actionscript is the best way to conjugate coding and graphic design. My passion for mobile begins in 2003, when I start developing Flash Lite and Symbian mobile applications...
In these years I’ve worked as freelancer on a variety of different web, print and mobile related projects. I’m fascinated with good websites, fine typography skills, mobile and devices design and development.
I am co-manager of the Italian “Mobile & Devices Adobe User Group”. From 2007 I cooperate with the Janus team as Symbian developer (Janus Symbain Edition). From December 2007 to Jan 2009 I was Senior SW Engineer at Teleca (Flash Lite development) where I implemented Flash Lite interfaces for upcoming handsets. From Jan 2009 I’m part of ustwo™ - the studio of dreams! In February 2008 I receive the Forum Nokia Champion recognition, a recognition and reward program for top mobile developer Worldwide (confirmed also for 2009).
I design, protype and develop mobile applications and (mobile) websites. I am fluent in Actionscript, Flash Lite, Photoshop, Illustrator, Java, CSS, XHTML, Javascript, C++ for Symbian, UML, SQL, XML. Download my curriculum vitae.

The application is designed for Nokia N80, but you can also download a quick adaptation to others screen sizes. At the moment there're six extra functions provided by Janus Engine, but this set will grow up with more useful methods. Read more.
[28-03-07] Generative Flash Lite screen savers.
