I am studying to become a Network and Cloud Specialist at ITS Academy "Angelo Rizzoli" in Milan, between networking, cloud computing and systems administration.

What I like is the moment theory stops being tidy: a constraint nobody had considered, a design that has to be thrown away halfway through, a solution that only works if you also think about who lives next to it. I go looking for those moments outside the classroom too, because that is where I learn the fastest and where I find out how much is still missing.

I am curious by default and stubborn about understanding how things really work, down to the layer where it stops being magic. Everything here is the current state of that, and it changes as I do.

Before all of this I spent two years between dining rooms and events: a restaurant that was never empty, then evening and weekend shifts on call, a different venue and a different team almost every time.

It was never going to be my road, and I knew it while I was on it. But it is how I built my own independence to study, on my own terms rather than someone else's: I learned to stay clear-headed when everything happens at once, and it left me the habit of listening to what someone actually needs rather than what they asked for. I still do it on weekends, and it is still what keeps me grounded.
