"Driven by curiosity, always seeking innovative solutions."
I'm a DevSecOps Engineer based in Lugano, Switzerland β I transitioned from full-stack development to cloud-native infrastructure and never looked back.

I'm deeply into the AI space β both the frontier and the local side:
- Frontier models β Claude, GPT, Gemma, Mistral β I evaluate them for real workflows, not just benchmarks
- Local inference β running models on my RTX 4070 Ti with llama.cpp and Ollama; tested Gemma 4 E4B vs 26B for RAG and webapp tasks
- PKM + AI β building a personal knowledge base powered by LLMs (Obsidian + local search + Claude Code)
- DevSecOps meets AI β exploring how LLMs fit into CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows
- My Obsidian PKM Setup: Karpathy's LLM Wiki + Claude Code + Local Search
- Gemma 4 E4B vs 26B on an RTX 4070 Ti: Benchmarks, RAG, and a Real Webapp Test
- How I Passed KCNA and KCSA β And What to Actually Study
- Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA)
- Kubernetes and Cloud Native Security Associate (KCSA)
