- Bio
Live and work in Sicily and have been a Drupalista for a few years now with my participation becoming more intense since Drupalcon Paris (definitely a case of come for the code stay for the community thing). Into semantic web technologies (that goes back to my post-doc work at Southampton Univeristy) and decentralised networks (my PhD thesis was titled "models for agent-based systems" which is all about decentralised societies and modeling relationships between things).
I think Drupal (and systems like it) can play a huge role in making the web a more decentralised and interesting place and that is what gets me interested. The fact that it is also an excellent way to earn a living doing consulting while living in the Med is a huge extra bonus!
