Speaker Biography
I'm a technologist, entrepreneur and researcher with 15 years of hands-on experience in building Internet of Things with a particular focus on tagging technologies (e.g., EPC RFID, NFC), embedded devices and supply chain. I enjoy managing groundbreaking technical innovation and helping to architect large-scale decentralized systems.

I had the chance of co-founding EVRYTHNG and leading its innovation and engineering teams. EVRYTHNG is today a 65+ employees company with 33M$ VC funding from Atomico, Samsung, and Cisco. I am also a co-chair & contributor to a number of IoT standards at W3C and GS1 (GS1 Digital Link, EPCIS 2.0)

Before that I was a researcher for several organisations and wrote my PhD at ETH and MIT in decentralized and distributed systems for the Internet of Things. In particular, I developed the first Web of Things architecture with a handful of fellow researchers in 2007. My PhD was granted the ETH medal and I had the chance of being ranked amongst the 10 most influential IoT experts in 2012 and 2016. I hold several patents in IoT and tagging technologies and wrote technical books that are used as course books to teach the IoT in several universities such as MIT, CMU, TU Delft and IIIT Delhi.
