About the Reviewer

Mario Fusco is a senior software engineer at Red Hat. He was born in Napoli, Italy. He works on the development of the core of Drools, the open source JBoss rule engine. He has huge experience as a Java developer, having been involved in (and often leading) many enterprise level projects in several industries, ranging from media companies to the financial sector.

Among his interests, there are also functional programming and Domain Specific Languages. By leveraging these two passions, he has created the open source library lambdaj with the purpose of providing an internal Java DSL for manipulating collections and allowing a bit of functional programming in Java before the introduction of lambda expressions.

He is the co-author of Java 8 in Action, published by Manning, and a technical speaker at several conferences both international, such as Devoxx and JavaOne, and local, such as Voxxed Days and Codemotion. He is also a co-lead of the Java User Group of Milano, Italy, and the leader of the program committee at both Voxxed Days Zurich and Voxxed Days Ticino.
