My passion for computers began around the first few years of elementary school. My father and I took apart my uncle's old PlayStation that wasn't working anymore and tried to fix it. He briefly explained to me the components: the green motherboard, strange cylinders, and little cube-like chips. It was almost love at first sight. But it wasn’t until high school that everything changed — when I discovered Anonymous.

Like many kids fascinated by computers, my first dream was to sit in front of multiple monitors with green terminal text, hacking NASA. Reading about the operations Anonymous carried out against extremist groups made me fall in love with the idea of using tech for good.

I discovered their news channels and entered my first ONION-network forums. I started studying malware logic, computer vulnerabilities, and cybersecurity. In my freshman year of high school, a friend and I began exploring Kali Linux, CTF basics, and common server vulnerabilities like SQL injection. We even solved some Jeopardy-style CTFs. We had studied everything from various onion sites like Imperial Library, Z-Library or DefCon onion site. Thanks to these experiences, I understood the greatness and splendor of information technology and the internet. Freedom of information and privacy have become my key goals. All my personal projects are completely open source (even if they're not particularly useful or important), but somehow I like to think I'm doing my part in making every possible piece of useful information completely free and easy to access.

Guided by these principles, over the next few years, this friend of mine and I attempted to collaborate with several online activist groups, carrying out small-scale DDoS attacks and hacking attempts on various sites hosting illegal material. Some were even successful. After the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, we wanted to make our small contribution to disseminating information by translating into Italian and publicly uploading the conversations, personal information, email accounts, and onion accounts of the Russian hacker group Wizard Spider, known for the Conti ransomware.

I began coding in Python — mostly for payloads — but never truly enjoyed it. Over time I fell in love with JavaScript and web development, building websites for school competitions. I later moved to C++, then C#, creating countless projects (sadly lost today).

During school I finally studied Java in depth, which became one of my favorite languages. Later, I transitioned into full‑stack development with JS, PHP, JQuery, HTML, CSS, and SQL, designing dynamic backend-driven websites.

During my university years, I had the opportunity to study C in depth, ZSH and Bash scripting, and to improve my web development skills. I started studying React, Vite, Angular, Astro, etc., etc., and the related messages.

One of the largest projects I've ever worked with my friends on was UNICO. The idea was to implement an AI management system in companies, managed by our fine-tuned model based on BERT. This project gave me a wealth of experience and gave me the opportunity to enter the world of IT companies for the first time, introducing me to various IT companies in our region. Unfortunately, due to university and personal reasons, this project was temporarily shelved, as we had reached a point where we needed to start "selling" the product and presenting ourselves to companies. This was quite difficult for a group made up entirely of IT professionals with no sales background.
