Don't Just Write Code, Build Freedom
Teaching:
- From Component to SaaS
- Self-Hosted Independence
- AI-Augmented Development
- Production-Grade Cloud
20+ years dev Β· 1000+ students. I mentor developers who want to escape Big Tech, self-host their own SaaS, and use AI without selling their privacy.
WHY THE WOLF?
BECAUSE THE ZOO IS A TRAP
In the corporate world, you are fed steady meals, but you live in a cage defined by vendor lock-in and fragmented tasks
The corporate zoo is automating its cages, so the only job security left is the ability to ship without permission
I chose the way of the Wolf, becoming a 'Solo-Dev' and moving into a van to reclaim my freedom
My job is not to convince you to live in a van, but to give you the skills so you could if you wanted to
I built my own cloud, my own SaaS, and my own rules. Now, I teach other developers how to leave the zoo and hunt for themselves
My office view changes every day. My server rack fits under the seat, that's why.

What I Offer:
- REAL-WORLD LESSONS: Battle-tested lessons from my own cluster meltdowns. Iβve watched a failed backup erase a live cluster. I teach you to avoid learning that lesson the hard way.
- Visual documentation strategies so you never get lost in your own code
- Real-world setup: CI/CD, Backups, and Monitoring (no 'Hello World' fluff)
- FROM COMPONENTS TO PLATFORMS: I bridge the gap between 'writing components' and 'owning the platform'
- Privacy-first architectures so your SaaS doesnβt depend on data-hungry third parties
- AI integration strategies to multiply your output, not replace your brain
- FREEDOM & COST: A path to freedom where I teach what I live from, so you can too
- Stop paying AWS $500+ per month on a cloud you can host yourself for $50

Giovanni Cappelletti | 20 Years Dev | 1000+ Students | Solo-Preneur
The cloud is complex, but it doesn't have to be expensive or terrifying. I've spent years simplifying the stack so I could live freely. Now I want to hand that roadmap to you.
