Co-founder and Technical Coach @ Alcor Academy

Software craftsman, technical coach, international speaker, Systems thinker, symmathecist, philosopher – all mixed with some Venetian humor. Co-author of the award-winning book “Agile Technical Practices Distilled – A learning journey in technical practices and principles of software design”.

I self-learned Basic on a Commodore when I was 9 and my passion for programming has never faded since. I have been working for the past 20 years between Italy and UK, embracing ideas from Lean, Agile, eXtreme Programming, Domain-Driven Design, and Systems Thinking.

I recently co-founded Alcor Academy with the mission of helping technical leaders to create a culture of engineering excellence through training on Agile Technical Practices.

Soulful Socio-Technical Architecture

Apr 01, 2021

In my opinion, a modern architecture vision cannot just be technical.
It has to consider the social dynamics involved in rapid learning teams, in particular when applying technical wisdom to domain understanding.
In this talk, I will present my view of organizations as socio-technical systems, with considerations on design and architecture heuristics.
A journey from the bits of the codebase to the soul of our users, passing by the “complexity in the heart of Software” and its understanding by development teams.
