My personal blog

Who I am

Mauro is a Solution Architect in Particular Software, the makers of NServiceBus. He spends his time helping developers building better .NET systems leveraging Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles and message-based architectures.

When he is not busy with distributed systems he loves to go back to one of his first loves: rich client development using XAML based technologies. Mauro usually writes about technology, but not only, on his English blog at //milestone.topics.it and his Italian blog at //blogs.ugidotnet.org/topics. He is also passionate about skiing, road bike riding, swimming, classical dance, and music, in general.

Currently bio is merged into the HTML structure of the /about-me page, making it harder than required to copy paste the bio when in need of it for events and CFPs. Option:

• add to the same markdown, the italian version and the short versions

to

eventdate:
- start: "2016-11-29T09:00:00"
[- end:  "2016-11-29T18:00:00"]
