Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself
Hi all! My name is Luca.
I’m Italian, but I have lived in London for the past ten years.
I’m currently working as Principal Serverless Specialist for AWS.
I am self-taught.
I learnt a lot with the help of different communities and because I’m passionate about tech, I spent countless hours in front of my digital devices for learning, working and creating content.
Because of my background, I truly believe in the power of communities, so I try to give back as much as I can, simplifying difficult topics and sharing everything that I learnt.
In the past twenty years, I delivered over 300 public talks all over the world, from Japan to Silicon Valley.
I wrote two books; the first one on Reactive Programming and the second one on Micro-Frontends.
Building Micro-Frontends: Scaling Teams and Projects Empowering Developers
Micro-frontends are the answer to today’s increasingly complex web applications. Inspired by the microservices model, this approach allows scaling your organization empowering the development teams to take the right decision in their business domain.
I’m currently working on a third book on AWS Lambda, one of my favourite AWS services.
I recently started my new YouTube channel (My 50 cents), where I share all the lessons I’ve learned working in the tech industry, so feel free to check it out when you have a second.

I’m currently sharing my room with my youngest daughter, so I have a relatively small area to fit in all my gear.
But soon, she will move into her sister’s room, so I’ll do a complete makeover of the room!
