Hi.
I'm Manuel Baldassarri!

Software developer since 1996, entrepreneur, consultant, and thinker.

Software development is a young profession, and we are still learning the techniques and building the tools to do it effectively. [Martin Fowler]

I've been involved in this activity for over three decades.
I've seen technologies and methodologies come and go.

Professional Consultant

Software development

In my career, I have used many computer languages, including C/C++, C#, Delphi, Java, Javascript, Lua, Perl, PHP, Python, Rust, x86 and Z80 Assembly.
PHP developer since 2002 and Symfony developer since version 0.6, I've been involved in many projects, from small websites to large enterprise applications:

  • Technogym: spare parts inventory/selling system
  • Illimity: judicial auctions platform
  • Mondadori G+J: social network Top Girl, editorial platform Focus Junior and Mamme nella rete
  • Aura: IoT platform for plant growth lights
  • Fiat/Jeep: social network for sharing trips
  • Inter: institutional site
  • Vodafone: user Q&A wiki
  • Astronomers Association: membership platform, Stripe integration
  • Carimali: IoT platform for HoReCa coffee machines

Refactoring and migration expertise

Do you need to improve code quality? Do you want to move from an old PHP or framework version? I can help teams transition projects from mess to clean code and simple design.
