I like, with the help of AI (mostly Claude Code), making hardware do things it wasn’t sold for: Linux on ARM laptops, kernel patches, reverse engineering, car and radio tinkering. I test everything on the real hardware myself.
By day I work in healthcare IT in Rome, as second-level support for hospital applications.
Arch Linux ARM and Omarchy on a Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14" (Snapdragon X Elite). Boots at EL2 with KVM, deep sleep at about 0.9 W, four speakers, camera, fingerprint reader and charging through the Samsung EC. Kernel patches in linux-book4-edge.
A standalone Flipper Zero app that receives Hyundai Continental/VDO tyre-pressure sensors, with configurable wheel positions and reception diagnostics on the SD card.
YouTube Music in the Omarchy bar: search, queue and play through a background mpv, with no browser window.
Suspend on a Snapdragon X Elite laptop drained the battery in a day. What the chip's sleep counters showed, why Linux under Qualcomm's hypervisor never got the SoC to power down, and how running at EL2 fixed it.
My laptop hard-reset itself three times in ten days, with nothing in any log. A public reproducer turned it into a CPU erratum, and a two-patch kernel fix stopped it without giving up the deepest idle state.
