Full-Stack Software Engineer · Developer Tools & Applied AI · Founder of Mikesoft

Practical software. Privacy-aware by design. Built for people who value ownership.

_{Available for freelance projects, consulting, product collaborations, and full-remote, async-first opportunities.}

I'm an Italy-based developer with more than ten years of hands-on web experience. I build open-source developer tools, AI-assisted workflows, local-first applications, WordPress products, and business-ready digital experiences.

Through Mikesoft, I work directly with founders, companies, and professionals from strategy to launch. My approach is practical: clear scope, maintainable code, thoughtful user experience, and real ownership of the finished product.

• Product engineering — websites, web apps, mobile apps, e-commerce, internal tools, and integrations designed around real outcomes.
• Developer experience — VS Code extensions, CLI workflows, MCP servers, automation, and documentation that reduce repeated friction.
• Privacy-aware architecture — local-first thinking, explicit permissions, guarded operations, and user-controlled data.
• End-to-end delivery — discovery, technical direction, implementation, testing, launch, and long-term maintainability.
• Direct collaboration — clear communication with developers, founders, product teams, recruiters, and clients.

If you're building something useful and value clear communication, maintainable engineering, and real product ownership, tell me about it.

My open-source projects are free to use. Sponsorship helps me reserve focused time for maintenance, compatibility work, documentation, releases, and future tools that can benefit developers and teams.

There is never an obligation to sponsor. If my work creates value for you or your company, GitHub Sponsors is one practical way to help it keep moving forward.
