I think in structures and in human terms at once. That is not a slogan I invented for a page. It is how I am made: partly nature, partly training, and the way I work when something is stuck.
I studied engineering at the University of Padova — bachelor’s and master’s.
Philosophy, science, history or literature came more naturally to me — and I could have learned a lot of that on my own. Engineering was harder, and it opened a way of thinking: causes, constraints, what depends on what. Challenge, plus a useful complementary skill set. That paid off. The same subjects still pull me hardest, along with how people and cultures actually behave — and I have kept reading across them on my own. The point was never to escape the technical world. It was to keep more than one view available.
For a few years I worked inside ordinary technical settings: business and IT consulting on large system rollouts in Europe, South America, and the UK. Then I left. I had seen enough of what worked, what did not, and how often the broken parts were simply accepted as normal. A few months in Australia came next — polishing my English, and seeing the country. After that, freelance training in Southeast Asia. I liked that job; market limits ended it. Since then I have mainly made a living by building software from written specs, remote delivery, light feedback — work that only works if the writing is honest.
Alongside that I have lived for years away from where I come from, in other languages and other everyday rules. I work in Italian and English. My spoken Spanish is solid. I have useful knowledge of French, Portuguese, Chinese, and Thai in varying degrees. Living abroad is not just a hobby for me. It is practice at reading a situation from outside the local normal.
When a topic matters, I take it apart until an original angle emerges. Then I write it down. Those are two phases: first the thinking, then the page that someone else can use. The same habit is what I now sell under a clearer name.
Technical work made something visible: stuck workflows, early plans, and human friction are structures too. And a written map from outside is often worth more than another meeting inside the fog.
Systemic Architect.
That is the work I do.
