My name is Mauro Alfieri and I consider myself a curious person. I like to study and get deeper knowledge of various topics. Thanks to my resourceful radio engineer father I approached the world of electronics for the first time at the age of ten. Three years later I discovered computer science and programming languages together with model-making: this combination of knowledge helped me homebuild my first model of anthropomorphic arm. Computer passion turned into work as I become a freelance consultant for small businesses first and then for  IBM, BPCI, Fastweb, BCC, Allianz, SNAM, etc …

Discovering Arduino (arduino.cc) in 2009 brought me back to some old passions. My active participation during Arduino’s events made me decide to share my knowledge: since 2010 I run a blog, www.mauroalfieri.it ,where l write about breakthroughs and insights with over 600 posts available today.

The urge to realize digital fabrication projects arrived when I joined WeMake Milan’s Makerspace as a member in 2014. Sharing electronics/informatics knowledge and being able to make real products with the community was the first step that then led to wearables technologies thanks to Sara Savian, Claudia Scarpa and Zoe Romano’s projects inspiration.
