Description

Hi folks! Nice to meet you, i'm Fabrizio. I’m really happy to have discovered a website that offers a service like this; I’ve always felt something was missing in my life, and experiences like these are exactly what I’d been looking for. I’m a computer scientist who’s usually shut in a room studying or working, but I’m also a guitarist in a punk/math-rock band.I love trying new things and opening up to people, and I can't sit still for a second, so how am I supposed to stay home at the computer all day? Right now I’m looking for a way to spend part of my day meeting people from all over the world and working on new, practical, simple, heartfelt projects, so that in the same day I get enough emotional energy to tackle hours of study or computer work. I love that work, but without a balance of human contact and freedom, every day can feel monotonous. I’m hungry for life experiences, I fall in love with other people’s stories and with the gentleness of those around me. I’m extremely curious and always chasing the whys and hows. I love hands-on, project-based work, and I’m convinced everyone should be free to exist in the way that suits them best, as long as it respects others. I believe each person deserves what they seek. For me, having the chance to live experiences that enrich me as a human being, teach me practical skills, and still leave time to nurture my passions and studies would be the perfect balance.

More details about your skills

Although I’m an IT professional, specifically a web developer, I’m extremely hands-on and practical. I focus on reuse and on finding solutions with whatever tools and resources are available, and I enjoy helping on other people’s projects by contributing my knowledge and intuition. I’m meticulous about cleanliness; after living on my own for a long time I’ve picked up every household skill, so I can cook (Italian and Neapolitan dishes are my specialty: PIZZAAA) and handle all aspects of cleaning and home upkeep. I’m comfortable with basic DIY tools; as a teenager I often cared for animals and built terrariums for turtles or snakes, looked after injured birds, and, thanks to a strong bond with nature, have always done gardening, something my grandparents passed down to me. I’ve also done grape-harvest work in France and spent long periods living in energy-self-sufficient houses that rely on local resources.

For the past seven years I’ve played guitar in an underground Italian punk-rock band, touring the country for gigs and short tours. I perform at a professional level, and while I lack formal conservatory training, I can teach guitar very effectively in practical terms, covering fundamentals of rhythm and harmony. Naturally, as a lifelong nerd I’ve gained comprehensive IT skills, both hardware and software, and because I’m committed to recycling I love giving old computers new life and helping people solve tech problems, including teaching children or seniors, with whom I generally have an excellent rapport. I’m fluent in English and a native Italian speaker; I lived in France for a month in high school and even reached a C1 level, but I haven’t practiced French in years, so I can’t really claim fluency anymore. I’m highly sociable and enjoy long conversations and hearing other people’s stories, yet I also cherish solitude and need daily time to take care of myself and maintain privacy.

I’m very passionate about theatre. I attended an acting school for four years and worked as an actor in Italy, performing in many theatres in my city with a company recognized at the ministerial level. Diction, acting, and movement techniques are still fresh in my mind; they shaped me in the years right after high school. I left theatre to devote myself to music, because I couldn’t juggle everything at once. Deep down, I still feel a strong desire to express myself and to understand others, and myself, in the way I could back then.
