Daniele Tofani is a software engineer, former Free Skating athlete and developer of the new judging system RollArt. In 1981, he put on his first roller skates and, after eight years, he participated in his first European Championships in Oviedo. In the following competitions, he gained 8 European gold medals (2 Senior), 3 German Cups and 8 silver/bronze medals in 8 World Championships (1995-2002). In 1998, he won the world title in Bogotà in Combined. After getting his degree in 2002 and competing in his last world championship in Wuppertal, he had a short "career" as choreographer and skater of Small Groups, winning the gold medal in Nantes and Portimao in 2010. In 2015, Nicola Genchi asked him to develop a simple interface to concretize a new project on the judging system. After a few months, there was the first official competition in Calenzano using the app RollArt. He started to collaborate with World Skate in 2018 as Technical Sports Platform Assistant and as Data Operator and he took part in the World Championships in La Vendèe (2018), in the World Roller Games in Barcelona (2019) and in the World Skate Games in 2022 (Buenos Aires).
