I’m Mauro Serralvo, founder of Brinpage and a computer engineering student.

My relationship with technology started early, but not in a polished or academic way. When I was around fourteen, I found an old Toshiba Portege R200 that had belonged to my father. What began as simple curiosity quickly turned into obsession. I spent hours taking things apart, testing programs, breaking them, reinstalling them, and trying to understand what was really happening underneath the surface.

A couple of years later, some friends and I installed a pirated game and ended up modifying it with our own custom files. That was probably my first real contact with programming, not as something academic, but as a way of intervening in systems and reshaping them from the inside. I’ve been building ever since.

What interests me most about technology is not just functionality, but direction. I grew up on an internet that felt open, strange and full of possibility, and I’ve also seen it become increasingly flattened, optimized and mediated by platforms. That shift has shaped the way I think about software. I’m interested in building things that feel clear, powerful and intellectually honest. Products that do not just work, but reflect a point of view.

I’ve built independent projects, founded Brinpage, and along the way won the Nokia x GSMA Open Gateway Hackathon in 2026. But more than isolated milestones, what defines my work is a long-term commitment to building on the internet with curiosity, precision and taste.
