Hi, I'm Dario

Designing and coding useful digital products, from backend logic and integrations to UX and product decisions.

15+ years experience 12 years in agency work 100+ projects

Development & tools

From backend logic to product decisions.

I've worked across most parts of the process - from database structure and backend logic to frontend interfaces, deployment and UX decisions.

My everyday work is mostly PHP, MySQL, JavaScript and CSS, but the technologies themselves are only part of the job. A lot of my work is about connecting systems, improving existing products, solving unusual requirements and keeping long-running projects maintainable.

01

Backend & applications

Building and maintaining custom web applications, ecommerce projects and integrations - often on systems that have been running and evolving for years.

  • PHP
  • MySQL / MariaDB
  • REST APIs
  • Third-party integrations
  • Ecommerce
  • Legacy systems
02

Frontend & UX

Turning backend functionality into responsive interfaces, with attention to usability, accessibility and the details people actually interact with.

  • JavaScript
  • jQuery
  • HTML
  • CSS / PostCSS
  • Responsive UI
  • PWA
  • Accessibility
  • UX
03

Workflow & delivery

The work doesn't end when the code is written. I care about how projects are versioned, tested, deployed and kept maintainable over time.

  • Git
  • GitLab
  • CI/CD
  • Docker
  • Automated deployments
  • Server environments
04

Design & product thinking

My background also includes visual design and UX, which helps me bridge the gap between technical implementation, interface decisions and the original product idea.

  • UI design
  • UX
  • Prototyping
  • Information architecture
  • Figma / Adobe tools
  • Product thinking

Experience

Built across years, teams and products.

For more than 15 years, I've been designing and building for the web - the last 12 of them as part of a small agency team. My work has ranged from development and integrations to UX, technical direction and long-term product ownership.

The names below are a selection of clients, brands and projects I've had the opportunity to work with along the way.

More than individual projects.

Behind those names are dozens of websites, ecommerce projects, internal applications, integrations and long-running digital products.

Some have been part of my work for years, while others meant solving one specific piece of a much larger system. Together, they've shaped how I approach digital products today - not as separate layers of code, design and UX, but as parts of the same product.

  • Websites
  • Ecommerce
  • Microsites
  • APIs
  • Integrations
  • PWA
  • Maintenance
  • Legacy systems
  • Analytics
  • Internal tools

Things I build for myself.

Small projects are where I can build things simply because I find the problem interesting.

Smart home - Personal project

Project 615

E-ink - Public transport - Golemio API

PID departure boards
