I've been building since I was nine — back then in Scratch, already trying to turn my own ideas into software. What I wanted was simple: to make the things I imagined real.

In early 2026 I started shipping for real. ZIP4 came first, then GTRotation — a tool I built to solve a problem I had myself, as a Gran Turismo 7 collector — and now Toggle Music, with more already on the way. I conceive, design and direct each product, using AI as a co-pilot to build it. Writing code is a means, not my title: what I care about is taking an idea all the way to something people can actually use, and keeping it simple.

I've always had a lot of interests and a constant need to create my own. One runs just as deep as software: motorsport. It started as a kid in Cortina d'Ampezzo, where Ferraris and Porsches aren't a rare sight — that, with a love for competition and technology, has stayed with me ever since. Engines and software come from the same place in me.

The people I admire turned technology into things people love — that mix of design, engineering and stubborn vision is what I'm after. My goal is to build companies of my own and spend my life working on what I care about most. I can't really picture doing anything else.

One true thing about me: I say what I think, and I'm always talking about my ideas. I was born on the 23rd — and I've signed everything “23” since I was three.
