# I don't know what I don't know, so I go and find out.

I studied computer science in Bologna and later took an MBA, because I want to build a business and not only the software inside it. Agents write a lot of my code now. I wrote the rules they work under, I review what they ship, and nothing goes out under my name that I can't explain.
