I wanted to know what was moving across my lab network. So I built a system that reads its events and flags suspicious activity.

IT technician and the author of homelabz.
As a kid I was the one who installed the games on everyone’s PC. They often didn’t work, and I spent more time hunting the problem than playing. At some point I realised that was the part I actually enjoyed.
A bit
about me.
“People are meant to be lived.”
That curiosity is still with me. I work at ALS Informatica, in Comiso, and I keep experimenting in my own projects. I like understanding how things work, and how people see the world.
I joke a lot and talk even more, especially when I’ve found something that grabs me. Sometimes I lose my friends halfway through the explanation. I like video games, films, and the conversations that shift how I see things.
Discussion matters to me, including with people who disagree. I’m around online, but I care a great deal about time spent face to face.
From curiosity
to projects.
A few things I’ve built.
A small AI model
I trained Gemma to sort support tickets into the right category, and wrote down the method and the results so anyone can repeat the test.

I needed my town’s recycling calendar within reach at all times. I built one and made it freely available to anyone.

What I learn,
I share.
Computing concerns people who don’t do it for a living too. On homelabz I share what I test and what I learn, free to read: networks, hardware, security and artificial intelligence.
Writing about it keeps these questions within reach, and it brings me people worth talking to. The blog is written in Italian.
