I solve problems. For 26 years.

About me

It all began at eleven years old, in front of a computer.

It was love at first sight. That machine hinted at a power and possibilities that captured me instantly. From that day on, study and experimentation became my hallmark, until technology became the centre of my professional life.

I was born and raised in Noto, Sicily... far from the centres of innovation. It was never a limit. It was my training ground. In 2000 I founded Casto Sistemi, in 2015 Maicron S.r.l., and in 2024 I earned my degree in Computer Engineering. Not for the title... for the knowledge.

When I see a problem, my mind looks for the solution. Sometimes the solution doesn't exist yet, so I build it. That's how Immunibox was born, and how three patents followed.

"I will never put my name on a product or service that does not contain the best of me."my company's motto

What I do

I don't sell technology. I solve problems.

Every project starts with a real analysis of your company, your goals and your budget... and ends with a measurable result.

Innovation

Strategic consulting

I stand beside entrepreneurs and public bodies through digital transformation. I also tell you what you don't need to buy... it's part of the service.

  • Analysis of your existing IT infrastructure
  • Digitalisation and innovation plans
  • Support with grants and funding
  • Technical direction of complex projects
Security

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is not a product, it's a process. I design and manage your company's defences at every level.

  • Vulnerability assessments and security testing
  • Protection of networks, servers and endpoints
  • Backup, disaster recovery and continuity
  • Incident monitoring and response
Legal

Digital forensics

Expert reports and digital forensic analysis for lawyers, companies and individuals. Technical rigour, in a language even a judge can understand.

  • Expert reports for litigation
  • Forensic analysis and evidence preservation
  • Internal investigations and technology disputes
People

Training

I train employees, technicians and executives. I wrote a book to explain IT to everyone... rest assured I can explain it to your office too.

  • Cybersecurity awareness
  • Specialised technical courses
  • Tailor-made training for your company
How I work. First I listen. Then I analyse. Then I propose a solution with clear timelines and costs. And if something doesn't convince me, I tell you plainly... I'd rather lose a job than your trust.

The book

First sold in thousands of copies. Then given to the world.

I wrote Talenti Sconosciuti to open the doors of IT to everyone... a journey inside the digital world, revealing its mechanisms and making them understandable even to non-experts.

It reached #1 on Amazon in the cybersecurity category. Then I did the thing that suits me best... I made it free for everyone, forever.

"Knowledge must belong to everyone. Only then can humankind evolve."the phrase that guides everything I do

In the field

Where you'll find me, beyond the desk.

Conferences, international fairs, institutional panels, training. Innovation happens by meeting people.
