Curious Technologist · Systems-Oriented · Rust Learner

I like building small, well-defined systems that make sense — the kind where every piece has a purpose and the whole thing feels clean, lightweight, and intentional.

My background is in languages and structure, so I naturally think in terms of clarity, patterns, and “how things fit together.”
I enjoy friendly collaboration, documenting ideas, and keeping projects welcoming and easy to navigate.

• Languages: Rust 🦀 · Swift · SwiftUI
• Focus Areas: small-scale storage systems · data models · predictable state flow
• Design Interests: UI/UX · visual clarity · intuitive representations
• Languages I speak: Italian · English
• Background: Italian studies (Aix-Marseille University)

I like technical work that stays simple, human, and approachable.

A from-scratch Rust key–value store built as a learning journey into internal storage mechanics.

What I’m exploring:

• append-only logs
• minimal, transparent indexing
• safe ownership boundaries
• compaction (rewriting segments + index rebuilding)
• small, understandable modules with clear responsibilities

I’m documenting decisions as I go to keep it welcoming for anyone browsing the repo.

My first attempt at a persistent K/V system.
It helped me understand where design choices start to break and how to redesign them properly in v2.

A lightweight experiment using CSV as a persistence layer — great for understanding abstraction boundaries.

A mix of systems fundamentals and creativity:

• Rust learning (ownership, lifetimes, traits)
• log-structured storage models
• building reliable mini-systems from first principles
• clear documentation & diagrams
• early OSS contributions (Signal-iOS + small tooling)

My goal is always the same: make things simple, intentional, and pleasant to use.

Background in linguistics; mindset oriented toward structure and system behavior.
I’m interested in small architectures, clear interfaces, and the way simple components can model complex ideas.

I work visually, iteratively, and with a focus on clarity and intentionality.
My goal is to build tools that are minimal, reliable, and well-documented — systems that make sense.

I appreciate systems that feel balanced — where complexity quietly resolves into something clean, minimal, and genuinely thoughtful.
