About Me

I was born in Italy, in the hot summer of ‘81. The first thing I wished to do was to fly, luckily my second choice was coding!

I’m a Web Engineer. I play with Javascript, Docker, mobile web apps, and NodeJS. I love to deal with huge amounts of data, mostly using PostgreSQL.

I like to share code and solutions. I believe knowledge is a product worth sharing so everybody can enjoy and improve our community value.

I’m working hard to become a good manager that people can look up to and feel supported by. It’s a rock’n’roll experience, but it pays off immensely when you recognize success in the eyes of your collaborators.

I do paragliding, I love mountains, hiking, and biking into nature. Recently I embraced sailing in the Baltic sea (no mountains in south Sweden!)

Projects

I like to start new projects. No, I LOVE to start new projects. Starting new projects gives me the opportunity to go deep into one single subject and learn.

My personal GitHub is filled up with short life span repositories. But some of them are more interesting than others and I plan to keep working on a more serious level.

I write about…

This is a personal blog where I share personal experiences and ideas.

Communication

In our childhood, we learn that the whom who speaks the louder wins. But then in Life, we hit wall after wall and we don't get through. Until we finally learn that the art of communication is mostly about listening and learning about other's people motivations, dreams, and aspirations. In this collection, I share the stuff that I'm learning, and the mistakes I make.

Tutorials

You are welcome to share a few HOW TOs on stuff that I love, or stuff that I've learned.

Tips & Tricks

Those are small bits of knowledge that I wanted to note down along the way. It could be anything from coding, to free resources, to books. Anything really.

Databases

Databases are the cornerstone of any modern information system. Even so, we don't spend enough time learning their inside outs and making them work properly. This is a collection of bits of experience, war stories, and general pain during my jurney from data-storage to data-bases.

Docker

Docker is just an amazing tool that gave me the super power to run almost any software on my machine, with near-zero Linux experience. Along the way, I've learned a few Linux tricks as well.

FetchQ

Fetchq is a queue system and big calendar based on PostgreSQL. It helps you simplify your problems by splitting them into smaller independent pieces, letting Fetchq orchestrate the execution, tracking, and logging into the most reliable of the Open-Source database systems ever.

Quotes

Sometimes, quotes are just what get you through a tough tough day. Here are the ones that I like the most and want to remember.
