About me

Senior web developer (15+ yrs) specializing in Magento 2 e-commerce, with strong Prestashop experience. Custom PHP/Laravel web apps and Drupal sites with custom modules. Skilled in backend and frontend, focused on stability, performance, and ongoing maintenance.

PHPApplication Programming Interfaces (APIs)Web DevelopmentDrupalE-CommerceLaravelMySQLPrestaShopAdobe MagentoBackend Programming
Senior Backend Developer with 15+ years of experience building and maintaining e-commerce platforms and web applications, primarily for Fashion & Luxury clients.
Core expertise:
Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce: custom module development, third-party integrations, performance optimization, and ongoing maintenance for a large portfolio of stores.
Prestashop: custom modules and theme development for e-commerce projects.
PHP & MySQL: solid foundation across procedural and modern PHP, database design, and query optimization.
Laravel: custom web application development, from architecture to deployment.
Drupal: custom modules and installation profiles for complex, structured websites; co-developed a custom layout builder adopted company-wide at a previous agency.
I work across both backend and frontend, with a strong focus on code stability, maintainability, and long-term performance. My work spans full development cycles as well as ongoing maintenance: functional enhancements, optimizations, bug fixing, and resolution of structural issues on live production systems.
I'm currently expanding into an AI-augmented development workflow, combining Laravel with modern AI tooling to speed up delivery without compromising code quality — a differentiator I bring to both new projects and maintenance engagements.
Fully remote, fluent in written English, based in Italy
