Me

Hello! I’m Carlo, and this is my tiny place on the internet 😁

I got tired of having a website that was simply just a front store window, and pined for the earlier internet days where websites felt like a bit more of a creative outlet and people just put themselves out there for no other reason than they could!

Website

I've set this website up using Zola and an awesome theme called anemone that allows for lots of customising but out of the box looks great. Github Pages for hosting and Github Actions for deploying, had to read the docs a few times but for the first time using it, works great!

Software / Hardware

I use a Macbook Pro M1 for all things professional. It's an amazing laptop and I wouldn't choose anything else given the choice to be honest now (except for a new model I guess!)

For all things personal, I have a Razer Blade Stealth 13" running my preferred OS which is Linux. I use Pop!_OS, out of the box most things "just work" and together they strike a good balance between portability and usability.

Things I do outside of work

• Try to learn Italian
• Play guitar
• Take photos
• Explore new places
• Sneak in some gaming when I can (mostly handheld these days on the Steam Deck)
• Read the odd book
• Exercise to offset all the sitting down! I do this kettlebell workout most days and it's helped me to stay feeling physically good.
