I am a sysadmin excited about open source software, real time applications and new technologies in general. When I am not working or causing problems you can find me blogging about random stuff, hacking, building, making or going out and having a good time around Europe. I am very easy to get a hold of - feel free to reach out.

Send me an e-mail at gianluca.varisco@gmail.com or hit me up at @gvarisco on Twitter.
