About Me

So, here we are: who am I?

I’m an italian born guy, currently living in Brazil. I studied to became am artisan, mainly a designer and sculptor however, being caught by the love for music during my teen ages I turned myself into a musician and, later, into a classical luthier.

Some constant in my life is my nerdish lifestyle: I always wished to go deeper and deeper in my understanding of life and nature, and those are very nerdish qualities IMHO. That’s mean that I have very broad interests, going from natural sciences - physics, cosmology, mathematic, geometry… - to human sciences - history, anthropology, phylosophy, religions…

I’m currently able to code in C# (fairly well), Python and JavaScript (both at an intermediate level) and learning my way in F#. Quite reasonably, my favourites computer tools are bash, git, powershell and vim… I do not dislike vscode at all, been one of the editor I’m using most, but I can’t stop using vim for everything!

Even if I used many different solutions for website development, I’m currently stick with Hugo. It’s not my favourite, at least conceptually, but it allow the work to be done quickly and easily.

Currently, I contribute to many open source projects but, as I’m an avid Elite: Dangerous player, the one I contribute most is EDDiscovery.
