About

I was 8 when my father brought home our first computer. A few years later a second cousin from Rome gave me a book on Visual Basic, and a whole world opened up for me.

I haven’t stopped since.

Today I work in innovation at Enel Green Power, and I collaborate with Duraltop.

The rest of the time I’m a dad, and a tinkering nerd. I love electronics, the kind you can program: from microchips to Arduino.

I made KeyChainino, a game console the size of a keychain, with 144 real LEDs instead of a screen. And more recently lanowl, an open-source network monitor that, when something breaks, asks a local AI to find out why.

I’m always starting something new. The code is on GitHub, the stories are here.
