Thoughtful technical generalist

Gabriele D’Ortona

I work at the intersection of infrastructure, automation, and applied AI, with a bias for systems that stay reliable under real world pressure. I like clean processes, pragmatic tooling, and experiments that have a purpose.

What I do

I design and improve technical operations, from device ecosystems and governance to automation that reduces noise and increases consistency.

What I tinker with

Purposeful experiments, usually small and enjoyable, often involving radios, sensors, and systems that talk to each other.

Device ecosystems

Mobile device management, scanner fleets, patching cycles, compliance layers, and the boring parts that keep everything stable.

Automation mindset

If a process repeats, it should become predictable. Scripts, templates, dashboards, and guardrails that make operations calmer.

RF curiosity

Listening, decoding, experimenting, and learning how signals behave in the real world.

AI pragmatism

Useful when it reduces friction and improves decisions. Not useful when it becomes theater.

Play with purpose

Games and building projects are my decompression loop. I like communities, co op sessions, and making things work.

This site is intentionally small. It is a calm anchor for digital identity, and a place to evolve slowly as projects and ideas become worth sharing.
