About Us

Hyacinth Wings was founded by Giacinto ("Hyacinth" in English) Palmieri and Alison (shortened to Ali, which in Italian means "Whings") Griffith, initially as a platform to deliver Giacinto's training services. 

​

Giacinto Palmieri has been working in the IT sector for more that 35 years, first as a trainer, then as a software developer, data engineer and consultant, initially in his native Italy and then in London, where he moved 23 years ago. In the past three years he has been focusing mostly on his activity as a Microsoft Certified Trainer, specifically on Azure data services, Azure development and the Power Platform. Outside of IT, he holds an MA in Philosophy and a PhD in Translation Studies and sometimes performs as a stand-up comedian, having brought several shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (a fact he tends to hide from his IT course participants, lest they expect a laugh per minute experience).

​

Alison Griffith is a qualified Psychodynamic Therapist and Counselor who graduated with a research on the psychological implications of virtual communities. While Giacinto takes care of the training, Alison takes care of everything else (including Giacinto). Information on her therapy and counselling services can be found at therootedshed.co,uk.
