Curiosity is the threadthat connects it all.

As a child, I was fascinated by a simple question: why do aircraft fly?

I tried to make almost anything fly. Once, my cousin and I even built a small parachute for my duckling and sent her flying from the second floor of our house. With the recklessness of a child, I saw only an idea waiting to be tested, not the risk it involved. Luckily, the parachute worked and she landed unharmed. Looking back, I can see in that experiment the beginnings of something that still drives me today: the need to understand by turning an idea into something real.

I built airports with LEGO bricks and filled the house with tracks and electric trains, turning anything I could find into a bridge or a tunnel. I spent hours with my Commodore 64, later my Amiga 500 and eventually my first PC. Everything was an invitation to understand how things worked and to try building something new.

That curiosity has never followed a straight line. As I grew up, it moved through different worlds, sometimes in sequence and often in parallel.

I realised early on that the best way to understand something was to try building it.

It happened with electronic music, when the desire to create led me to study sound engineering, computer music, synthesis and production, eventually releasing records and founding Engage Records, my record label.

It happened with sound, first working on live shows and then during my years in the recording studio, where I learned that technique, listening and responsibility have to work together.

It happened with flight, a passion that never disappeared: from the model aircraft I built and flew at flying fields to drones, and eventually to UAS operations and applied research. It was not a return, but the evolution of the same interest.

Nor did my path into software begin overnight. I started using computers as a child, and they have been part of my life ever since. Over the years, I learned to build PCs and also worked in IT support. During my years at Cat Sound, I took iOS development courses and built my first application prototypes, including a small app for children that was never released. For a long time, I pursued that direction intermittently, without finding a lasting outlet for it; today it is finding a clearer place in my projects.

I do not think of these stages as separate lives. Every experience has introduced me to people who believed in me, given me new skills and, above all, raised new questions.

Today, I continue to do what I did as a child: observe, imagine, build, test and learn.

What holds the journey together is not a single discipline, but this way of approaching things.
