Heya, welcome and thanks for dropping by! I am Dario, I was born in Fiesole (near Firenze, in Italy) in 1982 and I now live in Empoli (which is also near Firenze, Italy).
I graduated in Computer Engineering at the Engineering Faculty of Università di Pisa (2004 B.Sc, 2008 M.Sc). Afterwards, I entered the Ph.D program at RETIS Lab, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, in (still in Pisa), and completed it in January 2012.
The Ph.D was about real-time scheduling and synchronization. I got the chance to work a little bit on the Linux kernel, and was invited to present what I was doing at the 2010 Linux Kernel Summit (I’m the one at the very bottom-left in the group picture).
Currently, I am employed by Citrix and I am working on the Xen Open Source hypervisor. My current focus is improving the support and the performances of Xen on NUMA systems.
