Hello! I'm Alessandro, an Italian frontend developer.
I love to design and build beautiful web applications, using the latest technologies and best practices.
I enjoy spending time learning new things, and I'm always trying new methods to improve my work and the work of my teammates.
Currently, I mostly write code in Javascript but I’m open to future possibilities and changes.
I’m also a downhill rider, an indie game player, an avid traveller and an INTP type person.
I'm currently working on various freelance and open source projects using the latest JS technologies such as ES6, Node, Express, React and its ecosystem, Angular 2, CSS Modules.
I'm also studying TDD and functional programming to improve my skills and knowledge toward becoming a better developer.
Lead frontend developer at Workup, I've worked on the most complex parts of our clients's websites and web applications, using frameworks and techs such as jQuery, AngularJS, Wordpress, Laravel (Blade template engine).
I’ve also developed a series of internal CLI tools with Node, Grunt, and Yeoman to improve the company's productivity and websites performance, while supporting my collegues in writing JS & CSS code.
I’ve used tools & methodologies such as Vagrant, Git, Git-flow, Atlassian Jira & Bitbucket, Agile Development and introduced them to the rest of the team.
I've developed several JS utility and jQuery plugins, I've also designed and developed a full SASS / JS framework for the agency’s new CMS. I've worked with the rest of the team to develop custom solutions for companies like MB Crusher, Inghirami, Motovario, Tescoma and many others.
Web Designer at Workup. During this period I've made a lot of wireframes, prototypes, designs and code for responsive websites and web applications by working with companies like Porsche, Veneta Cucine, Controls Group, System Group, Airlux, Douglas Perfumeries.
I’ve used Photoshop, Illustrator, Wordpress, HTML5, CSS3, SASS, jQuery, Bootstrap and Foundation on a daily basis.
I designed and developed a few websites for distributors and maintained the company main website.
I've designed and built websites for small clients using CMS, such as Wordpress and Joomla in my spare time.
React version of the famous Pomodoro Timer, it's using material-ui behind the scene.
The project is currently under development, here's the link to the repository.
Company's new CMS based on Laravel which will be used as base for every new site.
I prototyped and designed the layout, while passing along several iterations to improve user experience.
Then I built the entire frontend from scratch, creating a style-guide, a library of extremely flexible UI components and an entire css framework in SASS. I coded all the frontend in vanilla javascript and jQuery, creating a little framework to share states and events between components.
