Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Alessandro Grimaldi was born in Rome, Italy, where he first approached the computer world in 1982. He has been a professional VBA developer since 1998. For several years Alessandro consulted for the World Food Programme (WFP), a major United Nations agency for which he worked in Afghanistan, North Korea, Ethiopia, and Italy. He has also worked in Vienna, Austria for the CTBTO, another UN agency. Since 2014 he has lived in Frankfurt, Germany, and where he worked for the European Central Bank for about five years. In all these places he has developed VBA tools, ranging from simple automation tools to complex, multi-user, distributed, enterprise-level applications.

In recent years, Alessandro has produced several videos about the drag-and-drop and the scrolling timeline, and delivered live workshops and presentations explaining these techniques. He has an online VBA shop (AlessandroGrimaldi.com/Shop) where he sells VBA tutorials, workshops, and tools. He also has a YouTube channel (@AlxGrim) where he publishes VBA-related videos.
