Freelance Software Engineer · Angular · Django
I shipped my first website in 1999, on a 486. Twenty years on I still build the software businesses run on every day — enterprise platforms, security tooling, full products end to end — for international clients and as products of my own. I pick the right stack instead of forcing one, and I stay until it ships and holds up in production.
AngularTypeScriptDjangoSymfony / LaravelPostgreSQL
I'm a full-stack developer with 20 years of experience — and I've been building for the web since 1999, when I put my first site online from a 486.
What runs through my work is range and ownership: Angular and React front-ends for European enterprises, Laravel, Django/Python and Symfony back-ends, and the cloud infrastructure underneath — often all three layers on the same project, built single-handed. Knowing when not to add complexity is half the job.
Along the way I've built things I'm proud of: an ESA co-funded telemedicine platform with the Politecnico di Bari, Italy's first ministerial portal on WordPress, products used at national scale. Whether it's your project or mine, the goal is the same — software that holds up in production and works for people even when I'm not in the room.
I match the stack to the problem — and keep solutions as simple as they can be
Front-end, back-end and the cloud infra underneath — I own the whole stack, not just a layer
OWASP-aware by default — I think about how things break before they do
Not just billable hours — I design, ship and run SaaS of my own

Twenty years of building software that matters
Front-end and full-stack work for European enterprises, alongside building my own products. Client names are under NDA — see the Projects section for the anonymized work.
