In short

I’m Salvatore Peluso,
I was born in Italy on January 3, 1996, and now I live in Vittoria city in Sicily.
In 2015 I graduated in “Administration, Finance and Marketing” high school, at the “Business Information Systems” division, with a grade of 82/100.
After that, in the same year I enrolled in the faculty of “Computer Science” of the University of Catania, and now I’m currently a student.

I’ve always been attracted by technology things since childhood. In high school I got my first computer, given me by a teacher. Because of that, I became passionate about computer science and programming.
My favourite school subject was Informatics (programming). Therefore this inspired me to start to grow my knowledge by myself, in particular about Windows and Android.

I’m a supporter of open source work, and I started to enter this world by reworking an already existing JQuery plugin (“colpick” by Jose Vargas’). After that, I created my own JQuery plugin called “WColpick”.
Most of my projects started with the need of something useful for me. Then, after noticed that my work could be useful for others, consequently I shared it to the GitHub community.
Other than creating new project I’ve also directly contributed.
If you are interested to more details, you can see my GitHub profile here: https://github.com/devpelux

It’s a really grateful thing if someone appreciate your work!
