About

Hi, my name is Fabio. I’m passionate about all things related to hardware, software, programming languages, and distributed systems. As a home lab enthusiast, I also enjoy running my own infrastructure.

Professionally, I am a principal architect with a focus on complex distributed systems leveraging Kafka and a variety of different data stores like Redis, MySQL, OpenSearch, and Databricks. I use this space as a conduit to express my interests and creativity about embedded systems, hardware design, and low level programming that I don’t get to do in my day job.

I was motivated to start blogging after a few insights from a couple of podcasts that I listened to: Oxide and Friends - Technical Blogging and Screaming in the Cloud with Simon Willison. That’s a muscle I would like to develop. Writing helps me document my journey as I learn new things.
