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 study the web technologies to bring my designs to life instead of observing others doing it. Then I started getting hungry, and things have gone further.

Today, I work remotely as an independent web developer between Italy and Eastern Europe, where I design, code, and deliver small medium-sized full-stack projects and online travel agencies (OTA) websites.

When I struggle to 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 my GitHub.

Tech

I'm passionate about the whole Vite ecosystem. When it is convenient to use a framework I just go with 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 whatever 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 and Directus.

Tools

I make every single penny with a MacBook Air M1 16GB usually connected to an HP X34.

I develop using VS Code along with Ayu theme, MonoLisa typeface, and WezTerm as terminal emulator.

smastrom-vscode

Firefox instead, is my go-to browser since ever and I'm so proud to be in that 3% that still uses it daily whether is for web development or to send an email.

Beliefs

I believe that accepting yourself is the first step to a life lived at 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.
