About Me

I was born in Milan (Italy) in 1982, I have always had,
as I can remember, the desire to own a personal computer.

In 1986 I found the legendary NES with the game Super Mario Bros under my Christmas tree.
As well as that epic game, I received The Legend Of Zelda which was my first love.

At the junior school, I began to know Windows 3.1 and finally in 1995 I got my first computer.

I was 13 and I could appreciate the amazing 486DX2 / 66Mhz.
Thanks to one of my best friends (thank you Mau), and a lot of passion, I began "writing" in Visual Basic.
That was the beginning of everything.

I created my first utilities... the more I created and the more I enjoyed...
the more I enjoyed and the more I created.
22 years have passed and today I show you who I've become.

I spend most of my free time (often in the night) writing code.

On February 2013 I decided to "escape" from my country to move to Australia
to create a new life / job experience... and improve my English.

Something that started like "Ok, let's try" became a new life.
5 years in Melbourne (Australia), 1 year between Wellington (New Zealand)
and Toronto (Canada) and then back to Melbourne again.

For pure passion and to try to make real an idea, in May 2019 I became the Founder of Koalado.com.
Unfortunately, Covid, made it hard to find an investor.

After another 4 years in Australia, tired of being always under discrimination visa restrictions,
I returned to Europe.
