Hi there, my name is Simone. I'm an independent web developer based in 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 mostly from central Italy, where I design, code, and deliver small medium-sized full-stack projects and world-class 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 Vite, Vue and Nuxt ecosystems. I mainly work with with Vue which is my go-to framework. It gives me great confidence, satisfaction and freedom since it does what I say, not the other way around.

I love writing CSS. I usually go with plain CSS using modules or whatever vanilla-like solution. A great project I use on a daily basis is Open Props, which I find very neat and practical.

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.

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

People who really know me say I'm the embodiment of excess: I grind hard, I study hard, I party hard, I love hard, but I never hate.

I'm not sure if this is a curse or a blessing, actually I don't care that much: that's just who I am.

I believe that accepting yourself as you are 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.
