At work

//Tech Lead at RedCarbon

I'm navigating the hardest part of the Tech Lead transition: the duality between deep product work and people work. When I'm building, I go full focus, and that makes it hard to context-switch into mentoring mode. I haven't found the right balance yet. I'm working on it.

//Building Argus

Open-source AI agent for security code reviews, written in Go. It runs real scanners (Semgrep, Gitleaks, OSV-Scanner), reads the findings, and reasons about them like an analyst would. Early days, moving fast.

//Learning to work with AI

Until recently, the answer was "write more code." Now I'm building the meta-skill of knowing when and how to use AI: agents, tools, prompting patterns. A new way of thinking about work.

//Security: daily practice

SOC teams, threat models, secure architectures. Outbox pattern, event integrity, secure-by-design API boundaries. Less course, more daily practice.

//Tools I run for myself

tsundoku for the library, bindex for the Pokémon collection, content-os for what I write. Single-owner systems that answer what I used to keep in my head, and that an assistant can query.

Schrodinger Hat Branchesco-organizer

Schrodinger Hat's distributed arm: free local meetups, each run by people on the ground. I lead the program: spinning up new chapters and keeping the active ones moving. Rome, Verona, Milan, Florence launching now. Looking abroad next.

Personal

//D&D: playing and building

Currently playing Krug the Touchy, a half-orc barbarian folk hero who ran an inn and rages if you don't finish his food. The DM reset the character sheets mid-campaign so I'm technically human now, but I miss Krug.

The longer campaign on hold features Thalion Melora, a half-elf bard who wields a violin as a psychic weapon and heals through sound waves. Favourite character I've ever played. Meanwhile I'm writing my own campaign to DM: world, NPCs, encounters. Surprisingly addictive.

//Pokémon cards

Building the Pokédex in rare and full-art. A long game. Emphasis on long.

//JuJutsu

Hontai Yōshin-ryū. Yellow belt earned; now training for orange next year.

//Gaming

Lost in Crimson Desert's open world, with Pokémon Pokopia as the cozy palate cleanser.
