About
Hi! I’m Alessandro, a frontend engineer currently working at IBM who enjoys the intersection of design, product thinking, and engineering. I like shaping how a product looks and works, collaborating with others on architectural decisions, and choosing the right stack for the job. I care about writing clean, well-structured code that’s technically sound and maintainable.
Before moving into software development, I worked as a documentary photographer. Feel free to take a look at one of my projects
.
When offline, I’m usually at the gym, working on my calisthenics.

Projects
Bulk operations dashboard
Sends reminders for a batch of invoices and deals with the ones that fail: temporary failures can be retried on their own, and reminders can be undone. Filters, sorting and pages live in the URL, so a view survives a reload and can be shared. A built-in panel makes the server slow or unreliable, to try each case.
