Hey, I am Fabio

My work is at the intersection of media, tech, education, neurodiversity and community design.

  • I Didn’t Expect to Fall Back in Love with Pebble

    It started almost by accident. Just a small idea, something quick to try. I opened the Pebble smartwatch SDK again, not really expecting anything, just curious what it would feel like to build for it now. And then I didn’t stop. There was something about it that immediately felt different. No pressure to build something…

  • „Wer bin ich?“ – Ein Rückblick auf die Tagung zu Neurodivergenz und Geschlechtsidentität

    Am 13. März 2026 fand in Zürich eine wegweisende Tagung statt, die sich einer der komplexesten Fragen unserer Zeit widmete: Wie hängen neurobiologische Vielfalt und die Entwicklung der Geschlechtsidentität bei Kindern und Jugendlichen zusammen?. Unter dem Titel „Wer bin ich?“ beleuchteten Expertinnen aus Medizin, Psychologie und Pädagogik die Schnittmengen zweier Spektren, die in der klinischen Praxis und…

  • Who am I? – A reflection on the conference on neurodivergence and gender identity

    On March 13, 2026, a groundbreaking conference took place in Zurich, addressing one of the most complex questions of our time: How are neurobiological diversity and the development of gender identity connected in children and adolescents? Under the title “Who am I?”, experts from medicine, psychology, and education explored the intersections of two spectra that…

  • Kleine Erfolge

    In der Sozialpädagogik sprechen wir oft über grosse Ziele. Entwicklung, Selbstständigkeit, Fortschritt. Diese Begriffe sind wichtig, aber im Alltag meiner Arbeit zeigen sich Veränderungen meistens anders. Sie beginnen klein. Ich arbeite mit Kindern in einem Internat einer Sprachheilschule. Viele dieser Kinder haben bereits erlebt, dass Dinge nicht so funktionieren wie bei anderen. Sprache ist schwierig.…

  • Small Successes

    In social pedagogy, we often talk about big goals. Development. Independence. Progress. These concepts are important, but in the everyday reality of my work, change usually looks different. It starts small. I work with children in a boarding setting at a speech and language school. Many of these children have already experienced that things do…

  • Paciva: Building a Tool for When Energy Isn’t Reliable

    For a long time, I’ve been thinking about energy — not in the productivity sense, but in the very human sense. The kind of energy that isn’t reliably self-renewing. The kind that doesn’t come back just because you slept, or tried harder, or “pushed through.” That question became much more personal when someone very close…

  • Wenn Energie nicht unendlich ist

    Lange Zeit habe ich – still und unhinterfragt – geglaubt, dass Energie etwas ist, das man immer noch ein bisschen weiter dehnen kann. Man ist müde, also zieht man durch. Man ist überfordert, also reisst man sich zusammen. Ausruhen kann man später. Diese Vorstellung ist überall. Sie steckt in unserer Arbeitskultur, in unserem Verständnis von…

  • When energy isn’t infinite

    For most of my life, I believed — quietly, unquestioned — that energy was something you could always stretch a little further. You get tired, you push. You feel overwhelmed, you power through. You rest later. That belief is everywhere. It’s baked into how we talk about work, productivity, motivation, even self-care. Try harder. Be…

  • Getting lost in the back alleys was how I truly found Japan

    Every trip starts with a list of places to see. My list for Japan was full of famous temples and busy intersections. I saw those places, and they were impressive. But the real trip began when I put the map away. The moments that stayed with me happened in the small, quiet streets that connect…

  • Why food matters at corporate events

    When you plan a corporate event, you focus on the big things like the guest list, speakers, and presentations. Food can sometimes feel like a minor detail. But the food you serve does more than just feed your guests. It plays a huge role in how people feel and what they remember. A great meal…

  • The Ultrahuman Air Ring and Why I Like It

    I did not get the Ultrahuman Air Ring because I wanted more data. I already see enough numbers every day. What I wanted was something calm. Something that helps me understand my body without stressing me. The ring fits into my life very easily. It does not buzz, vibrate or interrupt me. I wear it,…

  • How to find the best photographer for your upcoming event

    A great event deserves to be remembered, and photos are the best way to preserve those memories. Hiring a photographer is an investment in capturing the atmosphere, emotion, and important moments of your occasion. The images they create can be used for years in marketing materials, social media posts, and company archives. Finding the right…
