Hello! I'm Matteo.

I've always loved programming, FOSS and decentralized systems. I'm currently a student at University of Brescia.

Over the years, I have developed a variety of personal projects, including:
- [This website](/) ([git](https://git.massive.box/massivebox/website)), built with the Astro framework and Bulma CSS,
- [EcoDash](https://ecodash.massive.box/) ([git](https://git.massive.box/massivebox/ecodash)), the extensible
dashboard for environmental transparency,
- [Go CatPrinter](https://git.massive.box/massivebox/go-catprinter), a Go library that uses a reverse-engineered
proprietary protocol to communicate with some cheap Bluetooth Low Energy thermal printers,
- [RetroFW JilJil](https://git.massive.box/massivebox/retrofw-jiljil), the port of an abandonware game to the RetroFW
operating system for MIPSel-based handheld consoles, written in C with SDL1,
- And many more! Check out my [Forgejo](https://git.massive.box/massivebox), [Codeberg](https://codeberg.org/massivebox)
and [GitHub](https://github.com/massivebox) profiles to get an idea of what I like working on.

I also run a server, which is currently powering this website and other services. You can see its status 
[here](https://status.massive.box/), and a report on how much energy it consumes [here](https://ecodash.massive.box/).
It runs on Proxmox Virtual Environment.

You can find contact me with any of the links in the [homepage](/). If you're looking for my PGP key, take a look

You can find my character's art, as well as branding kit, [here](https://cloud.massive.box/published/art).

Thanks for checking out my website!
