I write when I've solved something worth sharing. No publishing calendar, no SEO spam, just the kind of thing I'd have wanted to read myself.

Every morning, before I can do anything useful, I click “Accept all” on twenty tabs. Five seconds per banner, an hour and a half per year, multiplied by hundreds of millions of Europeans: centuries of human time wasted on something the browser could solve with a single screen. Add the legal pages nobody reads, the banks that don't allow integrations, the FSD that took years to be approved here while it was already on the road on other continents, and a collective nervous system chronically worn down. What if Europe's low birth rate were also bureaucracy?

In my last years at university in Milan, between short flights and long waits, I read a lot. One book stayed with me: the story of Pedro, fired by an Italian state telecom company because his individual numbers were low — but when he left, the team collapsed and all the training programmes collapsed with him. Almost twenty years later, a sales rep at an electrical-supplies provider who picks up on Saturdays and Sundays has brought Pedro back to mind, and the simple truth that companies are people and people are feelings.

I don't drink, smoke or do drugs. My only luxury is eating out with my family. A premium burger place near home had turned me and my circle into regulars — employees, visiting relatives, company lunches. One day, a €104 bill, €100 in cash, and a €4 discount the owner refused. That was the minute that cost him thousands he'll never see.

On 10 April 2026 the Dutch authority RDW approved Tesla's FSD Supervised — the first European type approval for this system. I have been one of the very few people who got to test it first-hand for over 2,500 km. Driving nearly 140,000 km a year, I can say it is one of the best experiences of my life. A technology that changes absolutely everything: how you drive, how you arrive home, how you perceive safety. And now, at last, it can reach Europe.

I started in Italy with a 3.3 kW meter that tripped every time I turned on the induction hob. I moved to Spain thinking the problem was behind me. I was wrong. Three real stories from 2023-2025 where the grid wasn't the answer: a house with no power because of a previous owner's debt, a factory the utility wanted to charge €140,000 to upgrade, and a house stuck on perpetual construction power under threat from Iberdrola. In every case, the solution arrived before the utility did.

KNX should be Europe's open building automation standard. In practice, each manufacturer implements their own version, parts become impossible to find, and integrators blame each other. A real case from a shoe factory in Elche: two years of chaos, ovens shutting down on their own, and how we fixed it with Shelly Pro + Raspberry Pi for less than one-tenth of the original cost.

Big consultancies charge hundreds of thousands of euros to diagnose problems a hands-on technician can fix in an afternoon. Three real cases: a botched SAP migration with a forgotten backup, a security audit that ignored the obvious, and an industrial machinery integration that was “impossible”. Real senior IT consulting gets its hands dirty.

During Italy's Superbonus 110% years I learned something marketing courses don't teach: people don't buy solar panels. They buy peace of mind, certainty and arithmetic. Ten years between Italy and Spain doing lead generation for the photovoltaic sector taught me what actually works and what's smoke. If you're about to spend budget on Google Ads or hire a marketing agency for your solar company, read this first.

In the cloud era, someone recently asked me why I still list CCIE in my professional signature. The answer isn't nostalgia: it's that when AWS goes down, when an Azure migration gets stuck, when an IPsec VPN between two sites won't come up, the only engineer who shows up and fixes it is the one who learned at twenty-two how OSPF worked over a broken Frame Relay interface. Three real stories.

For almost two decades I was a consultant. I charged by the hour, the client paid, I solved the problem, and the next day I moved on to another client. Founding A Todo Sol in 2020 changed my brain completely. Suddenly, not invoicing for a month meant several families couldn't pay their rent. This is what I learned moving from consultant to founder when I already knew how to do everything.
