Hi there, my name is Simone. I'm an independent web developer from Italy.
Path
I've been a graphic designer for quite a while. One day I made an exciting decision: to bring my designs to life instead of observing others doing it. Then I started enjoying it so much that things have gone further.
Today, I work remotely as an independent web developer between central Italy and eastern Europe, where I design, code, and deliver small to medium-sized full-stack applications and online travel agencies (OTA) websites.
When I can't find a tool I'd like to use for my work, I can't wait to build it myself. Most of them are available on GitHub.
Tech
I'm passionate about the entire Vite ecosystem. When it's convenient to use a JavaScript framework I choose Vue. It gives me great confidence, freedom and satisfaction as it does what I say, not the other way around.
I love writing CSS. I usually go with plain CSS using Post CSS, modules, or any other vanilla-like solution. Another great project I use on a daily basis is Open Props, which I find very neat and practical.
Finally, some of my favourite backend and infrastructure services I love to work with are Cloudflare, Supabase, Directus, and Storyblok.
Tools
I earn every single penny using a MacBook Air M1 16GB usually connected to an HP X34.
I develop using VS Code along with Ayu theme, MonoLisa typeface, and Warp as terminal emulator.
Firefox, on the other hand, has been my go-to browser forever, and I'm proud to be among the 3% who still use it daily, whether for web development or sending emails.
Beliefs
I believe that accepting yourself is the first step to living life to its fullest, as it truly sets the soul on the right path for change and improvement. Hate, on the other hand, is and will always be the main cause of unhappiness and social degradation.
