About
About me
Hi, I'm Stefano. I've been writing code for the web since 2009, and I still enjoy it.
I spent over 15 years at the same company, growing along with it: today most of what we deliver goes through my hands in one way or another. That's where I learned to cover the whole chain, from visual identity to infrastructure, with development at the core.
Alongside my main job, I take on a few carefully chosen freelance projects. I like starting from a blank page: every choice, from design to database, has a reason, and I can stand behind the quality all the way.
My work is also my passion. It shows in the details.
Umbraco
Why Umbraco
I started with Umbraco 4 and followed it all the way to 18, through every major shift: from WebForms to MVC, from .NET Framework to modern .NET, up to the new Web Components backoffice. I've attended Codegarden, the official community conference, twice.
I choose it for its flexibility and extensibility: it doesn't force a project into a mould, it adapts to the project. For my clients that means one thing: a backoffice built around them, easy to use even for non-technical people.

Off the clock
Off the clock
I've played volleyball for 32 years, up to Serie B: it taught me that results come from teamwork and consistency. When I'm not on court, I'm behind a drum kit as an amateur, because music is my other big passion. Timing, rhythm and precision: it's the same craft, really.
Contact
