Product-minded software developer · Italy

Useful software. Built end to end.

I build products, automation and self-hosted systems — from the interface people use to the infrastructure that keeps it alive.

what I work across
Selected work

Products with a reason to exist.

Not experiments for the portfolio. Things built around actual users, workflows and problems.

How I tend to work

Start with the annoying part. Understand the whole path. Remove the manual step. Keep the system observable.

Live from GitHub

Open source, in numbers.

Pulled from the GitHub and Docker Hub APIs and refreshed every hour.

The rest of the rabbit hole.

Integrations, utilities and systems that grew out of problems I wanted solved.

Beyond the code

Still tinkering. Just with different tools.

Gaming

Performance, responsiveness and game feel — the kind of details I can obsess over for hours.

Films, series & cinema

Good cinematography, strong stories and an increasingly unreasonable watchlist.

PC gaming

Hardware, frame times, thermals and tuning a setup until it feels exactly right.

Smart home & homelab

Home Assistant, self-hosted services, networking and automation that reaches the physical world.

Nature & travel

New places, long walks and time outside — usually the quickest way to come back with a clearer head.

About

I care about both sides of the button.

The frontend matters. So do the API, the database, deployment, logs and the thing that wakes you up when something fails.

I like being able to follow a feature from idea to production and understand every layer in between.
