* Summary: Software engineer turned systems engineer. I used to be an active extension developer--author of ProCon Latte Content Filter and tinyFilter, for Firefox and Chrome respectively--then moved around Europe and decided to get into the rental field while, at the same time, providing IT support to local businesses. In the mean time I learned a lot about (physical) security systems, and develop IoT devices with Arduino and Raspberry Pi boards. My software developer skills are still honed, and I am currently learning Go and Elixir. I really love troubleshooting IT issues and develop/teach/research microcontroller-based solutions. Please feel free to reach out to me if you are passionate about what you do and are working on a meaningful product/service.
