I write about music, technology, and life.

About Me

I'm a solution architect and musician based in Italy. By day I work in the cloud-native ecosystem, focusing on containers, Kubernetes, AI and platform engineering. By night I pick up the guitar and explore the space where jazz meets improvisation.

I co-authored Podman for DevOps (Packt, now in its second edition), a hands-on guide to building secure, rootless containers and integrating them into real-world DevOps and AI workflows.

Music has always been a parallel thread in my life. I play acoustic, electric and a bit of classical guitar, and I've been involved in recording projects that blend jazz, composition, and sonic exploration. You can find some of my work in the Recordings section.

This site is where these worlds meet -- a place to share ideas on technology, music, and everything in between.
