Manifesto

Since 2011 I have been turning ideas into products. From the database to the last pixel, I chase one thing: technology that feels light. Bubbles that arrange themselves into a honeycomb: natural efficiency, simplicity and a little magic.

When you have a dream…

…nothing can stop you.

The dream

  1. It all began with a dream.
  2. I dreamt of bubbles colliding with each other, like the problems of everyday life.
  3. In every collision I was looking for the same thing: the simplest way.
  4. Like back when computing power was a luxury and every cycle counted.
  5. Ever since, I fight every day to simplify: minimise, optimise, understand, solve.
  6. To resolve the everyday for whoever needs me.

What I do

From concept to code

  1. 01

    Full stack development

    Clean, scalable architectures: APIs, databases, cloud and fast frontends, with TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, React and Java.

  2. 02

    UX/UI design

    Clear interfaces that explain themselves. Research, prototypes and design systems that grow without losing coherence.

  3. 03

    Creative coding

    Interaction, animation and physics in the browser. Websites that feel alive, without giving up performance or accessibility.

  4. 04

    Prompt engineering & agentic multitasking

    I design prompts, AI agents and workflows that run in parallel: models that understand context, coordinate with each other and automate real work, with control and judgement.

Lab

Bubble Maker 2.0

In 2013 I coded a menu of bubbles that grew and pushed each other around. It became my signature. Here it is, rewritten from scratch: real physics, an organic bounce and a new skill, compressing into a honeycomb.

I am a full stack developer and UX designer. Neoligero has been my brand since 2011: the place where engineering and design work together.

I am obsessed with efficiency and simplicity. I like to understand the whole problem, from data to interface, and build solutions that are as pleasant to use as they are to maintain.
