Computer engineering student. Security, orbital mechanics, heavy books.

I'm Pietro — I just finished technical high school near Brescia, Italy, and this fall I start Computer Engineering at the University of Trento. I like understanding systems from the inside: the packet under the protocol, the kernel under the shell, the gravity under the orbit.
Security is the plan. Not the hoodie-and-green-text kind — the kind where you understand a machine well enough to find where it lies to itself. I'm walking the long road: CTFs now, certifications next, and one day the job title.
Away from a terminal I play guitar every day, read novels heavy enough to double as dumbbells, study Japanese one kanji at a time, and hold the front line as a tank when my guild needs me. Ambition and calm, in alternating current.
An N-body gravity simulator I'm building from first principles — every integrator and every force written by hand, because the point is learning the physics, not shipping the tool. The animation on this very page is its JavaScript descendant: same velocity Verlet, same Newton, different sky.

A Raspberry Pi that refuses to admit it has 4 GB of RAM: photo backups, media server, home automation, all containerized, all reachable from anywhere through a private mesh. My quiet little data center — it hums on a shelf and teaches me more about ops than any tutorial.

Study tools I built for my own final exams: quizzes, a full exam simulator, a subnetting trainer. Built to learn twice — once writing it, once using it. If you're facing the same exam, it's yours too.

The rest — books, chords, kanji — lives on the star chart.
Books, security, orbital mechanics, or something I haven't thought of yet — write me.
