Normal People Bore Me! Technical Wizard @ Microsoft, Solutions Architect, Speaker, Mentor, Book Author. Here & Now.

I work at the Microsoft Technology Center in Milan as a Technical Architect, the best job in the world somebody would say. My focus industries are retail and manufacturing, but sometimes I also work with other customers, and I demonstrate how Microsoft and partners technologies can drive more business value. On my “limited” spare time, I like to help people improving their public speaking skills. I'm specialized in Cloud Native Architectures and Application Modernization, on Azure and Microsoft 365, with Visual Studio, GitHub, and Azure DevOps. I like to talk with people and communities about technology, food, and funny things. I'm a speaker, a trainer, and a public speaking coach. I've helped many students, devs, other professionals, and many colleagues, improving their stage presence to deliver exceptional presentations. I've managed teams of more than twenty people, and now I enjoy when I can lead virtual teams to drive specific results. I'm a Microsoft Certified Trainer since 2000 and a former Microsoft MVP for ALM, DevOps, and Virtual Machines. I write articles for Italian IT magazines, and I speak at conferences in Italy and Europe, and I've published many (free) e-books and a book about Azure Serverless.
