Development of an ecosystem of projects, services and communities
The experience
I’m developing a digital ecosystem connecting communities, culture, events, education, services, sustainable innovation and new economic models. The vision is to transform many interconnected projects into a living, scalable platform where people, skills, ideas, opportunities and territories can meet, collaborate and create value. I’m looking for a skilled web partner to help turn this vision into reality.

Program Details
You will decide the 5 hours per day you dedicate to developing this project. They must be between 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday to Friday.
Let me explain where we live:
In Pontassieve, a quiet residential town of about 15.000 inhabitants, conveniently located for all needs and surrounded by hills and woods.
You’ll sleep in a single bed, sharing the room with my 10-year-old daughter if you are a female, or with me if you are a man, and you’ll have everything you need: Wi-Fi internet (50/15 Mbps), bed linens and blankets, towels, hairdryer, a fully equipped kitchen, etc...
We have 3 parks and 2 rivers right nearby, perfect for walks and many sports.
Within 1–3 minutes on foot you can reach a bakery, a pastry shop, a café, a bar, restaurants, pizzerias, ATM, a pharmacy, a large supermarket, all kinds of shops, bus station, and the train station.
Florence is just 13–28 minutes away by train (depending on the station), the ticket costs 3.90 Euro.
On weekdays there are about 50 trains per day to Florence (from 5:30 am to 10:34 pm) and the same number back (from 5:00 am to 11:24 pm). On holidays, about half that number.
For city life, art, history, and culture, our home is ideal for visiting Florence while staying away from the hustle of the historic center.
Florence, cradle of the Renaissance, where art blossomed as a declaration of love for life!
I’m always available to help you with whatever you need during your stay in Italy:
I speak Italian, English, French, and Thai.
I have free time, many skills to share, and a 7-seat car, so I can also be your driver.
Activities & Shift
You will decide the 5 hours per day you dedicate to developing this project. They must be between 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday to Friday.
In the mornings, I usually go to the gym or walk or yoga, Pilates, gymnastics, sauna, etc... if you'd like, you can come with me :-)
Saturday and sunday you could be totally free, if you want...
On weekends, I'm often away attending holistic or personal growth courses, or going on trips with friends or Elisa, which you can join if you'd like.
Rules
Smoking and the use of any drugs are not allowed.
It's not possible to invite anyone over while I'm away.
During the time you’re playing and teaching to with my daughter, please do not use your smartphone.
