I'd like to thank my father, Angelo, for inspiring me to be my best and pursue the technical path I eventually took; my mother for being so strong and inspirational; my wife, Serena, for being a source of support for me; and finally, Felix Krause, for authoring such a great tool in fastlane, supporting me, and writing the foreword for this book. I'd also like to thank Kyle Mew for his contribution to the content of the book.
Dario started his career as an iOS developer in Rome, the eternal city, when he was 20. The context he liked most and which helped him to grow was working on the instant messaging platforms context with MONK software.
After four years in Rome, he realized he needed to be surrounded by a more international environment. Almost one year ago, he joined Tictrac, a London-based start-up that helps people to take care of themselves by providing health advice.
He loves travel, rock music, pasta, and red wine.

I want to thank my Mom and Dad, who have always been my inspiration. I’d also like to thank Ahmad and Sana, my siblings, who have been a constant source of cheerful support. A lot of what I am today is because of them.
