Hello, I am Massimo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am the co-founder of Arduino, an Interaction Designer, Educator, and Technologist. Throughout my career, I have worked as a consultant on innovation projects for clients such as Prada, Artemide, Persol, Whirlpool, and Adidas. I spent 4 years as an Associate Professor at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea, teaching workshops and being a guest speaker at institutions around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before joining IDII, I was the CTO for the Seat Ventures incubator and worked for many years as a software architect, in Milan and London, on large web projects. At just 26 years old, I became a pioneer in the commercial internet by serving as the webmaster for Italia Online, Italy's first major internet provider and web portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am also the author of \"Getting Started with Arduino,\" published by O\u2019Reilly, and have contributed to the Italian edition of Wired Magazine and other publications. I started the first FabLab in Italy, which led to the creation of FabLab Torino, and I was the first curator of the Maker Faire Rome, a major innovation event in Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I currently teach Interaction Design at SUPSI in Lugano, in the south of Switzerland, and I am a visiting professor at CIID in Copenhagen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
