About Me

Ciao, I am Fabio, the author of this blog; a tech enthusiast and a fellow homelabber. As I gained most of my knowledge via free articles on the internet, I believe it is time to return this favor and share my tech-knowledge back to the world! You can read more on my motivation behind this blog over here.

My quick specs are: born '95, living since 2014 in Heidelberg (Germany), Italian descent and at parties I am the outgoing-fun guy.

"Life is to be enjoyed!"

I really like having fun, which is why I do not take myself very serious. I can take jokes at my expense – the darker, the more I laugh. But I am also a very curious, down-to-earth guy to have deep and emotional conversations with. You know, just a normal-every-day guy in the 21st century.

My Skills

Working as a Consultant and Systems Engineer at an IT-service provider helps me to develop my technical and soft skills. For our clients, we manage a variety of software that enables me to admin and consult for the following products:

  • Microsoft Windows Server (AD, DHCP, DNS, WSUS) and Exchange
  • Virtual Desktops and Apps on Citrix
  • E-Mail encryption with Seppmail and iQ.Suite
  • Privileged Access Management with Wallix Bastion
  • Backups with Veeam, Nakivo and Restic
  • Network-Security with Fortinet
  • Containers via Docker
  • Linux Administration on CentOS machines

Currently, learning: Azure, Kubernetes, Ansible

I am open for feedback, post suggestions or just some friendly words. Make sure to drop them via E-Mail and do not worry about privacy. I of course self-host my E-Mail Server and offer TLS, PGP and S/MIME encrypted communication ;)
