Hi guys,

I’m Filippo an Italian living in London… it’s 8 years now!  
I am a software engineer and I just love technology frameworks! It’s been a while that I’ve been glancing at Kafka, but I feel now the time has come to fully get deep into it!

Happy to be part of the community, I hope to learn a lot and to share knowledge too!

I forgot to mention… I’ve also signed up for the Kafka Summit in May - I’m really looking forward to it!

Welcome Filippo! While waiting for Kafka Summit, you may want to join a Kafka meetup. You can find the schedule of online Meetups, along with videos of past events at [Meetup Hub](https://events.confluent.io/meetups)
