<h4 id="apetrelli">Antonio Petrelli</h4>
+
+ <p>My first encounter with Tiles was at the university in June
+ 2003, when my teacher gave me an assignment in which I had
+ to convert a sample web application using Struts and Tiles.
+ After that the same teacher gave me my thesis assignment, in
+ which I had to develop the missing part of a web application
+ rapid prototyping tool based on the same technologies.</p>
+
+ <p>After my graduation, I worked for a year at the same
+ university and my job was to enhance that tool to support
+ multi-user and multi-device applications, with different
+ modelling techniques, so my experience with Tiles grew more
+ and more. I discovered and enhanced
+ <a href="http://mutidimensions.sourceforge.net/">Dimensions</a>,
+ that extends Tiles to create multi-user and multi-device
+ applications. It was then when I learned a lot of Tiles
+ internals.</p>
+
+ <p>My job at the university finished and I went into the "real
+ world", but I continued to work on Dimensions as a hobby,
+ and I kept my subscription in both users and developers
+ Struts mailing lists. One day I noticed that Greg Reddin was
+ working on a stand-alone version of Tiles, so I decided to
+ rework Dimensions accordingly. I submitted some patches for
+ bugs and enhancements in Tiles. After a while, in June
+ 2006, I've been invited by Greg Reddin himself to become a
+ committer: you can't imagine my joy! So I joined the team
+ that transformed Struts Tiles to Apache Tiles.</p>
+
+ <p>I am also a <a href="http://struts.apache.org/">Struts</a>
+ committer. My other Java EE interests are in the view layer
+ and in synchronization between client's browser and
+ application server: the latter led me to create
+ <a href="http://scopes.sourceforge.net/">Scopes</a>.</p>
