I guess it’s again #introduction time, as I’ve just moved over from @blacklight So there we go:

• 🇮🇹 geek in his mid-thirties, based in 🇳🇱

• 👔 My job involves solving problem at scale, one line of code at the time, with varying degrees of success.

• ⚙️ My hobbies often involve automating everything around me.

• #Linux user since 2001. Like many in my age group, I also used to run a forum and a wiki on an old Pentium 1 repurposed as a Slackware-based server under my bed.

• #Arch Linux and rolling release evangelist.

• 🛠 Creator and main developer of Platypush, an open-source, general-purpose platform/framework to automate everything. With hundreds of available integrations, you can think of #Platypush as IFTTT+Tasker+SmartThings on steroids, scriptable, and runnable on almost any device. Or maybe like HomeAssistant’s smaller and even more hackish brother.

• 🤖 Machine-learning enthusiast. I have written a book on it, with simple computer vision exercises that can be run on a #RaspberryPi, and I did some academic research back in a day where neural networks were still a cool new thing. I’ve also won a couple of awards from Hackernoon for my articles on IoT, AI, distributed systems and proof-of-stake.

• 🎵 Music addict, decent guitar player, not-so-decent player of many other instruments, and occasional composer/producer of boring music. You can find some of my music on my Funkwhale server or on Spotify.

• 🛹 Surf/skate/bike guy.

• 🍺 Craft beer lover.

• 👪 Full-time Dad.
