-Hello! I'm Ettore and I'm a GNU/Linux enthusiast and a classical music lover.

+**Hello! I'm Ettore --- a GNU/Linux enthusiast and a classical-music lover based in Italy.**
 
-Here's a random Calvin and Hobbes strip for you. Enjoy!
+---
+
+### By day
+I work as a Cloud Engineer at [Wolters Kluwer - CCH® Tagetik](https://www.wolterskluwer.com/en/solutions/cch-tagetik), designing and managing modern infrastructure leveraging leading cloud providers for enterprise-scale workloads.
+
+I've always been drawn to system and network administration, especially on *nix systems. I'm fascinated by how everything works together when configured properly. The flexibility of GNU/Linux with the possibilities offered by OSS are what keep me passionate about my work.
+
+### By night
+
+Outside of tech, music plays a big part in my life: I trained as a classical pianist and later discovered a passion for choral music as well. When not working or playing with tech, you can sometimes find me at a piano keyboard or singing among the rows of a choir.
+

+
+### Thanks for stopping by!
+
+As a thank you gift, here's a random Calvin and Hobbes strip for you to enjoy!
