My name is Davide, I'm born in 1985 and I live in a small town near lakes in the north of Italy.

I had the luck to "use" tecnology since I was a child, my uncle gifted me an Amiga 600 for my 8th birthday and few years later I got a Pentium II. First purpose was, of course, videogames! Most of the time was spent to understand how to start a game with floppy disk and commands... was a roulette to make a game works at first try, but working around that to find solutions (without internet and google at that time) was fun too and makes me understand a lot of things about computers. Once I got a Pentium 4, the old Pentium II become a labs; I had fun time programming easy apps, overclocking (moving jumpers on motherboard untill something burn xD) and all I wanted to test.

 




Yes, I'm that old :P

With this passion about computers and technology (I was following magazines and exhibitions), and the luck to assist to the big evolution between '90 and 2000, I finished my study as a Chef. Italians and food you will say... Honestly I still don't know why I decided to become a Chef and work in a restaurant. But life is strange.

After some years in a restaurant, I decided to follow my heart and find a work as a computer technician. So I started to find this job with a Chef title in my curriculum, and watching everyone asking me "you studied 5 years to cook food, why you want to repair computers?". I usually replied "to match both my passions, computers and food. Give me a server with 2 Intel Xeon, I can remove the heatsink, overclock them and cook everything you want". Joke apart, I started to work for free untill someone saw my skill and decided to give me a chance.

Since that, is about from 2010 that I work as a technician first, then I got promoted as system admin junior. And I like that, all I've learned in this years, I did it by myself.

Technology is not my only focus. I love nature, adventures. I tried to play with snakes, take a tarantula in my hands, make a shower to an elephant but, the best experience I had in my life, was to meet a tiger. I was in honeymoon (Yes, I found a fool girl that want me <3), we planned to go in Japan but, cause of Covid-19, Japan closed all the flights. So we opted for Thailand. Once in Thailand I found a place called "Tiger Park" where you can meet real tigers and I asked to my wife to go there, as the same as a child cry for a toy to his parents. The owners use the park to gather founds to protect wild tigers around Asia. They teach you everything about tigers and other big cats, and you can meet them. School and practice. Amazing!
