ARTURO MAIELLO

Intro

Welcome — this is my personal website.

I'm a Python developer with 3+ years of professional experience, currently working on data-analysis pipelines, web scraping and interactive dashboards, and steering my path towards backend development with FastAPI, Docker and the cloud.

This site started as a learning project and grew into a small home for who I am and what I build. It's based on a free template from HTML5 UP, which I customised in design and extended with a JavaScript-powered contact form that wasn't part of the original template.

Work

My path into software started with HTML tutorials on YouTube and weekend Java courses, and turned professional three and a half years ago. I began as a system administrator with helpdesk responsibilities, was progressively given more development work, and moved into Python for data analysis and data science. Today I'd describe myself as a Python developer with a broad understanding of the technologies around the stack: SQL, Git, Docker, Linux and a growing focus on backend and cloud development.

Some recent projects:

• Homelab — my self-hosted home server: Docker-based services including Immich for photo and video backups, Jellyfin for media streaming and Vaultwarden for password management.
• Treasure hunt Telegram bot — hosted on Google Cloud; players scan QR codes to receive riddles, and solving each one reveals the location of the next.

Next on my roadmap: going deeper into DevOps practices, container orchestration and cloud hosting — building the same things I run at home, but production-grade.

About

Hi, I'm Arturo.

I'm a down-to-earth person, i care more about getting the message across than about dressing it up. My love for technology started the day my father brought home a chunky laptop, and the curiosity hasn't faded since.

Away from the keyboard I keep moving: running, cycling and skiing, a habit left over from my rowing years, which earned me three Italian national titles. I also have a thing for mechanical keyboards and watches, i like objects that are built well. The rest of the time i like to relax with a good TV series, or a book.
