My name is Stefano, I live in Switzerland, and I am a husband and a father.
I am passionate about technology and how it can change our lives (and businesses). I am fond of outdoor activities, I care about health and well-being, and I am a could-be-better hobby photographer who appreciates post-processing. While there are more interests in my life than these, let's start from here and find out where we will be ending.
