Paul is an Engineer at heart, with a love of PowerShell, Automation, Chocolatey, Scottish single malt whisky and wireless earphones. He has given workshops and spoken at many events across the UK, Europe and the US. He has a real passion for passing on knowledge and loves to talk with aspiring techies.

But on those rare occasions, when he is not staring at computer screens and listening to a strange mix of music on his wireless earphones, you can find him relaxing with a nice single malt whisky and reading ... usually ancient, medieval or military history books.

Passionate about computers for several years now, I decided to do more than just a hobby: my job. After a 5-year course at the Exia.cesi in Strasbourg allowing me to access a diploma in Information Systems Manager, I am now a Cloud Solution Architect within Hager Group, industrial specialist in electrical protection for individuals and homes.

This privileged framework allows me to apply my knowledge of analysis, design and development in Microsoft technologies for which I have a great preference. The web and mobility are topics that I particularly like (ASP.NET, AngularJS, Azure, Web API, Universal Windows App, Windows Phone ...), but I also strive to stay in touch with new technologies (IoT , Xamarin, Cordova, virtual reality / augmented ...) and constantly upgrade myself regarding the latest development techniques.

My name is Marco and I have an incredible passion for technology which I had the privilege to turn into a job. I’ve been working with .NET since the first beta, focusing on ASP.NET and, more generally, anything that is web related.

Today I work in the beautiful London, where I’m playing my part in saving the planet being the CTO at Mondra. Getting involved in the .NET and Azure community is also a key aspect of my profession: I’m convinced that knowledge sharing is one of the best ways to improve our professional skills, and therefore I try to dedicate as much time as I can to activities such as writing articles or speaking at conferences and meetups. Thanks to that, I’ve been awarded as a Microsoft MVP for the last 15 years in a row.
