Hey, I'm Gianluca!
I'm a Software Engineer working with PHP, Javascript, CSS, and HTML. I've been building websites since 2010 and have worked on several projects.
I enjoy working with DIY electronics, playing retro video games, hacking on new technology, and ... baking bread!
You can check out my latest projects, read all the articles I've written, see what I'm currently working on, and take a look at the tech stack I'm using.
Feel free to contact me even just to say "hi" 👋
