§01 / ABOUT
IDENTITY

17, from Belgium. Four years writing software, mostly the parts you don't see: scalable backends, infra at scale, and the occasional robot.

I'm Alessio, a full-stack developer who'd much rather be writing the backend, and a robotics obsessive who'd much rather be in the workshop. The last four years have been a mix of scalable services, DevOps, system administration, embedded hardware and slowly teaching myself AI. I run my own homelab, I'm building an autonomous quadruped, and I contribute to open source where the tooling is missing.

P.01Active R&D2025 / ongoing

Autonomous Robot Dog

Four-legged robot. Sensor fusion, ROS2, dynamic locomotion.

Building an autonomous quadruped that combines embedded hardware, ROS2 modules, and real-time control. Mathematical modeling, physics simulation, sensor fusion and path planning come together for dynamic locomotion and obstacle avoidance.

P.02Production-ish2023 / ongoing

Personal Homelab

Proxmox + Kubernetes playground on HPE ProLiant gear.

An infrastructure playground hosted on Proxmox running Kubernetes VMs. Hands-on with containerization, networking, HA, monitoring and storage at home-rack scale. Continuously broken on purpose.

P.03Maintained / Open source2025

ST3215 Servo Library

Production-ready Python lib for ST3215 servo motors.

Built because no stable, working ST3215 library existed. Reliable, well-tested interfaces for servo control and feedback, used in robotics projects in the wild.
