Rome, Italy · part-time preferred · open to relocation

Marcello Carletti

I fix things, build systems, and automate the boring parts.

I started by opening a VAIO I probably shouldn't have. Now I build PCs, run a small Kubernetes cluster at home, and write software for companies that need the whole stack to work.

Currently: Computer Engineering at Politecnico di Milano · Lenovo LOQ · Pi cluster · 12 stargates

Ink, paper, a few machines, and a card game. Not necessarily in that order.

Stories from the workbench.

The useful parts are not all in the CV.

01 / Hardware

The first laptop

A VAIO, a 0.6 GHz Pentium, 256 MB of RAM, and a false contact in the display connector. I fixed it after a week without internet.

02 / The long game

3,500 hours

Twelve stargates, four years, solo. GTNH was the best mental gym I've ever done.

03 / Off the clock

Wind, cards, and a very long save file

Tyrrhenian Lasers, competitive White Forest, and the rest of the life outside the terminal.

What I actually do.

I work across the web layer, the data layer, and the machine underneath. The range is useful when a project is small enough to need one person who can see the whole system.

Available for part-time contract work

Let's build the next thing.

Based in Rome, remote across the EU, part-time preferred, open to relocation. If the problem crosses layers, that's usually where I'm useful.
