Q: Why you write in English? A: English it’s international and since it’s not my primary language it’s a very challenging typing exercise, I know it’s not perfect I’m learning every day.

Q: Why don’t you use the social network as a platform? A: This is a complicated answer, first of all, the social networks are attention-seeking machines and sooner or later you end up to do something to seek those attentions at any cost, second the average life of a post on a social network it’s barely of a day (I’m been very optimistic), Ideas are out of time you can put an expiration on it.

Complex projects (IT):

• as a proof of concept, I’ve started more than 10 years ago a project named wide-net.org with the assumption to build an experimental enterprise network (for running collaboration and services of any kind) funny enough it became the foundations on which the datacenter and the entire network management and delivery run. At this point, the original project doesn’t really exist anymore the technology changed a lot since were I started so it doesn’t really make a lot of sense to continue and the strategic components are now part of the company assets, but the intellectual property of the project itself it will be always open

• Telemetry and Automation, I love telemetry and automation of any kind I’m doing this since ever from a physical PLC to deployment on some virtual infrastructure, right now I’m working on the network side I’m embracing the spine-leaf architecture a lot and soon enough became clear manuals configuration were not an option anymore, this is a requirement also for the next point

More complex projects (Physics):

• well, it’s almost a paradox because I’m always late (I value more been on-time delivering a project rather be punctual or present in some useless meeting) but one of my hobbies is the precise measure of time, in a few words I build atomic clocks. Right now I’m trying to put together an industrial solution for the datacenter timekeeping with the proper NTP and PTP interfaces
• I would love to have a remote telescope in some remote area with less light pollution than where I live, but still, it’s just a nice idea only
• I would like to have a radio telescope

My name is Leonardo, but most people call me Leo though.

I’m self-employed I consider myself an IT Architect I mainly work with Unix/Linux and sometimes Network Design, in recent years I also became an Entrepreneur creating and investing in technology companies. I’ve been involved (also creator) in various projects like experimental enterprise infrastructure (www.wide-net.org), Geographic Wireless Network (air-way) and other Retrocomputing / Network / HAM related projects. I live in Italy not so far from Milan, but I spend most of my time far from home due to work.
