In love with connected technology longer than I care to remember, I have exercised this passion first through research and development, and lately through entrepreneurship. I've had the opportunity to work with very brilliant people, including great students, and I was lucky enough to be part of the last, bright glimpses of what once was the mighty Bell Labs. These days I am focused on bringing together innovative HW, FW and SW technologies for developing interconnected platforms for security, building automation and safety.A note on my LinkedIn network: I use LinkedIn exclusively to send and receive work recommendations, or to exchange business-related messages. Therefore, on this platform I network exclusively with people that I worked and have worked with, and not with people that I don't know personally. To people that are requesting a LinkedIn connection and I don't know already: please let me know in your connection request what is the business purpose of your call, otherwise I will tend to ignore you. Please do not take this attitude as arrogance on my part. I am just trying to make the best use of LinkedIn for everyone!
