About me

I'm a software engineer with 10+ years of experience building web applications. I work across the full stack to build web applications and tools that solve real problems. While I specialize in WordPress development, my work spans frontend, backend, and everything in between.

I've been working remotely for 10+ years, which has taught me to be self-directed and communicate clearly. I enjoy diving deep into technical challenges, whether it's optimizing performance, building custom features, or figuring out elegant solutions to complex problems.

Projects and Selected Works

• Uncode - Top seller WordPress theme. I mainly deal with the backend, React (building components for the Block Editor) and the development of advanced and custom features for WooCommerce.
• WP Hotelier - A WordPress booking plugin for building hotel websites.
• Hotel Datepicker - A pure JavaScript date range picker for hotels or booking websites. It was tricky but fun to develop!
• ssnipp - Minimalist and private code snippet sharer written in Go. I use it to share snippets with my clients.

Personal

Born in Switzerland, raised in Spain, and living in Italy, I'm a father of two with diverse interests. Music plays a significant role in my life — I enjoy playing guitar, particularly exploring jazz, experimental, noise, electronic, and ambient genres. I also spend time reading books and comics.

Mathematics is another big passion, and after taking a few years away from formal education, I decided to return to academia and am now pursuing a BSc in Mathematics.
