Summary
Antonio Bonifati is a multidisciplinary creator and seasoned systems engineer with 14 years of experience spanning Unix/Linux administration, web and application development, and functional programming with a particular affinity for Lisp. Based in Calabria, he balances a technical career—building scalable services, firewalls, and custom protocols—with a flourishing artistic practice as a writer, songwriter and storyteller who self-publishes poetry and composes bespoke serenades. He has shipped production-grade infrastructure and automation at companies like Delivery Hero and Daxtra, while earlier roles at Politecnico di Milano and research centers honed his network and service architecture skills. An outspoken critic of contemporary software engineering practices, he prefers craftsmanship and minimal, well-designed tooling over heavy frameworks, and brings that same artisanal ethos to organic farming and analog sound processing. Notably, his background includes language teaching using listening-first methods and hands-on agricultural design, reflecting an unconventional blend of technical rigor, pedagogy and off-grid living.
