About the Author

Increasing partners' ROI on cloud investments with the right architecture is one of my objectives as a cloud solution architect working for Microsoft. Improving people’s public speaking skills is one of my personal goals. Living a full life with my family and friends is what drives me every day.

I'm specialized in application development and architecture, Azure, Visual Studio, and DevOps. I like to talk to 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 colleagues, by improving their stage presence, to deliver exceptional presentations.

I work for Microsoft, in the Italian One Commercial Partner division, helping partners and independent software vendors, but also developers, communities, and customers, supporting software development on Microsoft and OSS technologies.

I've managed teams of more than 20 people, and now I enjoy it when I can lead virtual teams to drive specific results.

I've been a Microsoft Certified Trainer since 2000 and am a former Microsoft MVP for DevOps and virtual machines. I speak at conferences in Italy, Europe, the United States, and virtually around the world.

Note: Genio del Male in Italian means Evil Genius. Please, don’t judge me by my nickname. I don’t want to conquer the world or something like that! If you wonder why I use it as my nickname, it’s a long story. Someday I’ll decide to post about it! I can only tell you that my friends gave it to me many years ago.

Do good things come in threes?

Writing this second book about public speaking for geeks was an experience completely unique from writing the first one, especially for the topics, and also for the big changes in the way presentations are now delivered.

Who knows if three will be the magic number for this series? 😊
