Computer Science
I’m currently employed in Zürich as a Security Delivery Senior Analyst at Accenture. In the past I worked as a software engineer in the StreetView Software Support team at Google Switzerland, and as a freelance web developer and hosting provider.
I’m a network and cybersecurity enthusiast.
Hosting services
For several years, during my studies, I ran a small hosting company.
I started using Linux as my main OS in 2008 and I’m still doing it (currently writing this page from a Manjaro installation). It all started by buying a Linux VPS and setting it up from scratch to host my own websites. After some time, I realized That I could offer the same service to other people, so I started doing it in 2013 and I stopped in 2019.
During the years, I used servers in Italy, Canada and Germany. I still own some of these servers and I use them for development and personal projects.
Programming
I started it as an hobby when I was 14-15 years old. Learned basic syntax with some simple C programming and then quickly moved to web development because it was more rewarding.
I am currently at my best with Python and JavaScript/TypeScript, and I master Bash scripting. I can code well in Java, Kotlin, C#, Perl and PHP. I occasionally wrote code in Ruby, OCaml, Dart and C++.
Here are some of my active projects:
- ppshell: a Perl script to issue commands through ssh on several machines.
- nc for Android: Ncat for Android. Install from Play Store
- Nmap Wrapper for Android: Nmap for Android. Install from Play Store
You can find more code on my GitHub profile.

Flaws
This section used to say that I hate graphics and are unable to do any work related to it. However, the situation has improved during the years and lately I started enjoying video editing.
Anyway, it’s still fair to say that I suck at it and that my sense of aesthetic is very poor.
