A white-label product catalog platform: a public Gallery built for tablets, used by sales reps to present products to clients during meetings, a back office for managing products, tags and images, and a JSON API that powers both — with a WordPress plugin already on the roadmap. I lead development of the project, from the Laravel backend to the React/Inertia TypeScript frontend.

The site you're reading right now: my personal portfolio, built from scratch with Astro and Tailwind CSS, with a light retro-gaming touch (pixel buttons, light/dark theme, a hidden easter egg). It includes a project collection with dedicated detail pages, a downloadable CV in Italian and English generated from the same site data, structured data for SEO, and a live GitHub stats widget. Fully bilingual (Italian/English), deployed on Cloudflare Workers — also a learning project, to experiment with the Astro ecosystem.

An app for Verbania's residents and visitors, with useful information, points of interest, news, events, weather and push notifications, plus a web CMS the municipality used to manage published content. I led every technical aspect of the project and built it end to end: the Android and iOS app in Flutter from a single codebase, the CMS in React, and the backend on Firebase — built with Firestore, Authentication, Cloud Functions, Storage and Cloud Messaging. I defined the Security Rules to protect data and control access to the CMS, and handled publishing the app to the App Store and Google Play.

Custom management software and applications for logistics and transport companies: handling orders, clients and invoicing, warehouse inventory, dashboards and reporting, plus portals where suppliers and clients book yard unloading slots and vehicle pickups. I led the technical decisions and oversaw analysis, design and development of the web platforms built with the team, integrating with clients' existing backend APIs where needed. I built two Flutter apps entirely on my own: one for warehouse management, handling inventory and loading/unloading from storage cells, and a Windows desktop app for looking up product technical and safety datasheets. I focused in particular on performance — optimized queries over large datasets, efficient memory management, and list virtualization on the frontend — and wrote Python scripts to automate internal processes.
