I was born in Ticino (the southern part of Switzerland where people speak Italian) in 1974. I lived there until 1993 when I moved to Zürich to study computer science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.

After graduation I joined the Laboratory for Software Technology under the supervision of Prof. Thomas Gross to work in the field of compiler construction. I defended my thesis Approximating the Worst-Case Execution Time of Soft Real-Time Applications in March 2005.

After working for three month as as a compiler engineer at Freescale Semiconductor in Schlieren, Zürich, Switzerland I joined in November 2005 the Information and Communication Services of the ETH Zurich.

Since May 2008 I am head of the Web Applications and Identity Management group of the Information and Communication Services of the ETH Zurich.

Since October 2010 I moved to Bern.

comment Baleful polymorph on a dragon and spells with a somatic component
@Stephen As far as I can see dragons do not have the shapechagner subtype per default or am I missing something?

comment Enervation, negative levels and monsters
It is not the level of the animal companion but the level of the druid. The second point is not so strange: the dragon will not shrink and the natural armor will unlikely change.

Thank, this is what I supposed but having a second opinion helps.
