About

I'm Dario, this website is a short summary of my activity as a web developer based in Italy. In 1999 when I was a kid I figured out that I could connect to a web host using this FTP thing, drop HTML files and they would magically be reachable by everyone!

In my teens I founded a website that gathered italian indie game developers (before being an indie game developer was a named thing) called makerando where we hosted hundreds of games and discussions among one thousand gamers and indie developers. In my 20s I mostly created ad-funded content websites that served thousands of users daily and I also did the consultancy (e-commerce, publishing and local business websites).

Right now I'm offering my expertise as a freelance web developer.

What I'm currently using in production:

• Laravel
• Angular
• Vue, AlpineJS
• WordPress
• PHP/Javascript/Typescript

Portfolio

Not every project I've worked on is included here. Some are no longer available or have been discontinued, making them impossible to present properly. Others depend on specific systems or environments and can't be shown outside their original context.

I've also chosen to omit projects that are too similar to others, ensuring the portfolio remains focused. Additionally, some projects no longer align with the type of work I'm currently pursuing, so they've been left out to keep the portfolio relevant.

Osservatori Regionali

Series of websites for the local government, using a variety of technologies (Angular, Angular Material, ApexCharts, Bootstrap Italia, Bootstrap Italia Comuni, PHP and vanilla JavaScript) focused on tourism, mobility, businesses, and cultural heritage.
Responsibilities varied based on the project, from figma conversion to component creation:
I connected charts to APIs and developed features such as municipality-based search and interactive maps using Leaflet and OpenStreetMap.
I ported a search functionality originally written in R Shiny to vanilla JavaScript.

TestDivertenti/TestAmore

Twin Websites, with TestDivertenti being online since 2009 and serving thousands of users regularly. Custom WordPress themes and custom plugins for the creation of quiz and games made sure the websites enjoyed a well-deserved success. The websites were also used as a playground to test technologies and UI/UX concepts on a big enough userbase.

Educational Services Registry

Registry made with Laravel, used by regional government to keep track educational services.
It enables municipalities and ATS (Territorial Social Areas) to report the status of childcare services year by year and within specific timeframes.
It includes features such as event logging, permissions management, PDF and Xlsx file generation, interactions with Google Maps APIs, and much more.

PWAs

Series of PWAs, privacy-focused, made with Angular, Tailwind and AlpineJS:

Gainz Assistant

Let the user keep track of exercises while also providing. Sold as white label. Takes advantage of Levenshtein to fasten how the user inputs the exercises. Provides timer. 100% privacy focused, users can keep their data

GATimer

Completely offline, no ads, it's an HIIT/Tabata timer with the user interface and user experience designed to be actually usable during intense training sessions.

CMS for public administration

A custom-built headless content management system developed with Laravel, featuring intuitive wizards that guide public employees to publish content accurately and efficiently.
