Hej, I’m Alessandro,
a Full Stack Web Developer with over 25 years of experience in the field.

I started my career in 1999 as an employee, a role I held for 13 years, before transitioning to freelancing and founding my own agency, which I successfully managed for another 13 years.

Through this journey, I have gained extensive experience in web development, working with various technologies and tackling projects of varying complexity. My expertise ranges from front end to back end development, with a strong focus on creating scalable and high-performance solutions. Now, with great enthusiasm, I wish to fulfill my dream of relocating to Scandinavia and bringing my skills and passion for web development to this region. I am drawn to the technological innovation and work culture of Northern Europe, and I am confident that my background can positively contribute to your team.

I would be delighted to further discuss my application in an interview and explore how my skills can be valuable to your company.

Skills

MySql Laravel PHP

I started my professional career as a .Net developer in a Microsoft environment, then, within a few years, I transitioned to the open source world (and philosophy). I became passionate about development frameworks and, in particular, I fell in love with Laravel framework and its echosystem, which I’ve been using since version 3, and still remains my primary development tool today.

MySQL

Python

MS SQL Server

HTML Js Css

In recent years, I have sought to bridge the gaps that separated me from becoming a complete and independent developer as much as possible by deepening my knowledge of Front end development and JavaScript, particularly the Vue.js framework alongside Tailwind CSS. I have experience with SEO-related issues, as well as usability and accessibility.

Web Server Management

I can configure a scalable Linux web server based on PHP and MySQL, including a backup system. I have developed and used various types of APIs. I can work independently, but I am also accustomed to working in teams of various sizes. I have built my own CMS from scratch, which I use as the foundation for most of my projects.

Education

1996 — 1999

University studies in Communication Sciences — University of Parma

Not completed — University of Parma

Parma, Italy

My passion for this incredible new invention called "the Internet" led me to explore web development on my own. Fascinated by its potential, I started learning independently, laying the groundwork for my future career in the field.

1991 — 1996

Technical High School specializing in Computer Science

Grade 51/60 Diploma — I.T.I.S. Berenini

Fidenza, Italy

During this period, I learned the fundamentals of programming in an era when the internet was not yet widespread. This experience gave me a strong foundation in problem-solving and algorithmic thinking, which I later applied to web development.

Self-taught Web Development: in the early 2000s, web development was not yet part of school curricula. For this reason, I embarked on a self-learning journey, independently studying technologies and programming languages to keep up with industry advancements.

Passions

The mountains and forests are my refuge, places where I can find balance between nature and freedom. I love experiencing the mountains in every possible way, from trekking to mountain biking, from skiing to climbing. I adore snow, fog, and cold climates; and I already know that the thing I will miss the most when I’m in Sweden will be the Alps.

I have also been passionate about video games and role-playing games, both digital and tabletop, since I was a child. I believe they help stimulate creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork. I enjoy TV series, cinema, and nerd culture in general.

I'm a passionate traveler with a strong attraction to the Far East, especially Japan. I love exploring its ancient culture, from historic temples and zen gardens to futuristic metropolises. I’m fascinated by the wabi-sabi philosophy, traditional cuisine like ramen and sushi, and Japanese pop culture, from manga to video games. Traveling, for me, is a way to discover the world, enrich myself, and live unforgettable experiences.

Tidbits

Born on 17/01/1976, I am an independent person with years of experience and a strong determination to constantly challenge myself. I approach every new challenge with enthusiasm and a desire to grow, always open to new learning and improvement opportunities.

I have a driving license for both cars and motorcycles and am used to managing myself autonomously and adapting to different environments. I look forward to relocate to Scandinavia to embark on new professional and personal experiences, bringing with me my initiative, reliability, and eagerness to actively contribute to new projects.

I’m embarking on this exciting new chapter of life with my partner — both in love and work — Carmen. She’s the most talented PHP frontend developer I know. Take a look at her work!
