Elio Magliari

I work as a software engineer, but what really drives me is the curiosity, observing the world, asking questions and building hypotheses to better understand it.

Over the years I have studied computer science, disassembled more systems than I remember and started countless projects.

Some worked, others didn't, but everyone taught me something. For a long time I felt the need to create my own space. A place to tell the process, not just the final results.

I'm doing it to share what I am learning, the questions I ask myself and the things I am trying to understand, with the aim of making the world of computing a little clearer and more accessible to everyone.

My story in short.

I have never really had a precise plan. What I’ve always had, though, is a curiosity that’s hard to switch off.

As a kid, I spent hours in front of the computer not so much to play, but to understand what was happening “behind the scenesbehind”.

I used to take things apart, break them, and try to put them back together. Sometimes I’d even wonder if it was possible to hack into a game to uncover bugs and make it more fun.

Sometimes I really could.

That curiosity never went away.

At the end of high school not I didn’t have a very clear ideas for future. So I chose the simplest thing, studying what had always attracted me.

Over the years I’ve touched a bit of everything: systems, networks, servers, databases, security, software development. Many projects have remained incomplete, others were never seen by anyone.

And that's okay.

Experiment without having to impress anyone has been a huge advantage.

During the university I also started stepping into the world “outside”.

First, through auniversity association linked to Linux, where I helped other students to solve problems with their penguin.🐧

Then at a software house in Rome, where the experiments were the same, but with real clients and different responsibilities. One of those clients was the Italian Navy.

I wasn’t commanding fleets (even though I would have liked to), but I was working on services that supported military personnel.

I would say that was also a contribution too, even if indirect.

When I was 21, I enrolled in a master's degree.

The Computer security had started to genuinely intrigue me, so I decided to dive deeper into it at the Politecnico di Torino.

because making life a bit harder is a specialty of mine.

Those were intense years.

Projects Complex projects, people from all over the world, constant challenges. In those years I discovered that, when I tried to explain something to others, I suddenly understood it better myself.

It’s a belief I still carry today:science isn’t inherently difficult, simply is often misinterpreted.

Today I work as a software engineer, but I'm not interested in defining myself only by what I do.

What matters to me is growing, learning better and sharing what I discover along the way.

This space is born for this.

Outside of digital logic is always the same.

I enjoy challenging myself with new experiences: boxing, football, swimming, salsa, bachata, gym and cycling.

Cycling helps me to disconnect from the city, immerse myself in nature and breathe some free space.

The Running, on the other hand, is always there it helps clear my mind and reminds me that progress requires patience and consistency.

I am also passionate about cars and motorcycles, and more generally on engines. Actually, I don't think it's much to understand.

Just feel a V12 roar to feel theadrenaline. And remember that, in the end, that wonder attracts everyone a bit.

Technology, study, sport: if I look at everything together, the thread is always one.

“Accept not to be good at it right away and learn your way along.”

It’s 2026, and I’m opening this space for exactly that. To share what I’m discovering.

Not because I have all the answers.
I often start with questions, from things that I'm not clear. or by concepts explained in a way too complicated.

Here I try to better understand on world of computing, unmount it, simplify it and build my vision.

The objective is make this world more accessible, stimulating curiosity.

And maybe help someone else feel a little less distant from a world that often seems more complicated than it really is..
