about me portrait image

Hi, I’m Dwayne Gabriel, an IT engineer with 10+ years of experience – and a lifelong curiosity for how technology shapes our world.

Early in my career, I worked in manufacturing, where I often found myself troubleshooting and replacing parts on machinery – including the very sensors and components that made these machines “smart”. That early exposure to connected systems sparked a fascination that’s only grown as technology has evolved.

Since then, I’ve watched the Internet of Things (IoT) evolve from niche applications to something that touches nearly every aspect of our lives, from homes and wearables to large scale industrial automation.

I created Gabellioni to share that journey. This blog is my way of:

  • 🎓 Educating beginners who want to understand IoT without all the jargon
  • 💬 Sharing personal experiences with IoT technologies I’ve worked with or explored
  • 📈 Exploring trends like AI integration, edge computing and emerging connected tech
  • 🔒 Highlighting challenges like security and privacy, and how to navigate them

Whether you’re a curious newcomer, a tech enthusiast or just someone intrigued by how connected devices affect our daily lives, you’ll find clear, practical insights here.

At its core, Gabellioni is about making IoT accessible – showing not just what it is, but what it means for how we live, work and play.
