Back to the Notebook
Fourteen months without writing a line here. Not a hiatus, not a crisis — the work just outpaced the writing. A short update on where I have been, what changed, and what comes next.
Last entry on this site was March 2025. It is now May 2026. Fourteen months of silence is not a small gap, and pretending otherwise would be the wrong way to come back.
Why I went quiet
I did not stop working. The opposite happened.
- In July 2025 KuriU ran out of runway and let the team go. The product was real, the funding was not. Freelance life keeps you ready for that, but it still resets your week.
- I joined Egomnia as a consultant and was assigned to the Ericsson Italy account. Between July 2025 and April 2026 I worked there as Software Engineer and Service Delivery Manager: shift planning, escalations, KPI tracking, cross-vendor alignment.
- In parallel, the freelance surface kept growing: client projects across NestJS, Next.js, Spring Boot, Angular, MSSQL, MySQL.
- Operations work and a wider portfolio fill the day in small, constant pieces. Writing needs a different kind of attention. I did not protect that quiet, and the notebook closed on its own.
I do not regret any of it. The cost of moving fast on many fronts is that the public record stops being current.
What changed
A few things moved at once.
- New chapter at Egomnia. In April 2026 I moved from the Ericsson account to R&D, working on Aura — our internal AI coding agent — alongside client projects as a full-stack engineer.
- More client work. Boosted, Syncro, Bimar, Dental, Zichella — different domains (AI learning, expat platforms, ERP integrations, clinical cost control, insurance), same engineering posture. The full list lives in /projects.
- Cleaary. Anonymous internal feedback as a SaaS, no longer a side experiment.
- Famiglia Civiero. A private finance and net-worth app I am building with my partner, on NestJS and Angular. Personal in scope, serious in engineering.
What I learned by not writing
Writing is a discipline, and disciplines decay.
- The first draft after a long pause feels heavier than it should.
- Ideas you did not write down look smaller in memory than they were when you had them.
- Public notes are not vanity. They are a way of forcing your own thinking to become legible to a future version of you.
What this notebook will become
The blog so far has been mostly about work as a concept. Honest, but partial. From here I want to widen it without losing the voice.
- More engineering notes: pragmatic decisions, boring stacks, code that stays readable.
- More AI agents: what building Aura is teaching me about the limits and the leverage of LLM tooling.
- More product: lessons from Cleaary, without the marketing layer.
- Same mindset thread, just less abstract.
Where I stand
This is not a relaunch announcement. It is closer to opening a notebook that has been on the desk the whole time.
Short pieces, honest tradeoffs, no performative consistency. If a month goes by without a post it is fine, as long as the next one is worth reading.
See you in the next entry.
