Hey, I'm Luca

I've been writing software for a living since 2008: about three years in Italy, three in London, and the rest in the Netherlands, where I live now.

Most of those years were frontend, about ten of them with React and TypeScript, at Treatwell, EclecticIQ and Intel 471. EclecticIQ, a cybersecurity company, is where I stayed longest. In six years there I became the person the team asked about Content Security Policy, and for six months I was acting engineering manager of a five-person team. At Intel 471 I built the frontend of a new product from zero, until a restructuring closed the whole team.

At Workera I moved to full stack, with Elixir and Phoenix LiveView, and owned the LLM features of a production AI product: agents, tool calling, model routing. That's the work I want to keep doing. I'm looking for applied AI engineering roles, remote or in the Netherlands.

I started this blog in 2012 on WordPress, writing about whatever I was stuck on, which is where the name comes from. These days the posts are mostly about self-hosting, LLM tooling and frontend security. The site now runs on a VPS I manage myself; the old posts are still on the WordPress archive.

Outside work I hunt bugs on Intigriti and release my side projects as open source, like cspgen, a CLI for reviewing, versioning and rolling out a Content Security Policy.
