Full-Stack Developer & IT Consultant based in Palermo, Italy. 6+ years in the industry, the last 5 as a registered freelancer, building web platforms, complex integrations and cloud infrastructure end-to-end — from architecture to deployment.
I work across modern stacks (Next.js, Vue, Laravel, Strapi) and proven ones (PHP, WordPress, LAMP), with a deliberate focus on security, performance and code quality. I cover both the application layer and the infrastructure that runs it.
Tech background + strategic vision + stakeholder management + end-to-end product ownership.
