About

I'm a System Builder, not just a coder. I see technology as a creative medium, just like music or film. My career has been a journey through extremes: from the rigid, high-stakes world of stock exchange infrastructure to the chaotic, decentralized culture of underground tekno. I've built everything from enterprise security platforms to generative art installations. All my projects, whether it's an open-source WAF (caddy-waf), a decentralized network (synapse-ng), or a vinyl record, are driven by the same obsession: creating elegant, autonomous systems that empower people. I use AI as an accelerator to translate ideas into reality at a speed that was once impossible. My goal is to build tools that help blur the line between artist and engineer.

A Message from the Maker: Why I Built Wildbox (and Why It's Free)

Ciao Product Hunt community

Fabrizio here, the (currently solo) builder behind Wildbox. I'm incredibly excited (and a bit terrified!) to share this with you all.

For the last 20 years, I've been deep in the trenches of security, working for any kind of actors. I saw the same story over and over: brilliant teams forced to wrestle with 7, 10, even 15 different security tools, spending in licenses, and completely trapped by vendor lock-in. I knew there had to be a better way.

So, I started building. In my spare time, fueled by coffee and a deep frustration with the status quo, I created Wildbox.
