Hey, I'm Franco Rossi
Full Stack Web Developer
With over 4 years of experience working with agile teams and a proficiency in a variety of technologies and frameworks, I can bring your ideas to life through software engineering.
About Me
I'm a passionate software developer with an engineering background who thrives in web development. While comfortable across the full stack, I have a special love for crafting intuitive frontend experiences. In the workplace, I find great fulfillment in mentoring colleagues.
Outside of work, I contribute to open-source projects, build personal applications that challenge me to expand my technical expertise, try to keep up with the latest web development trends, and explore new technologies to push creative boundaries.
When unplugged from code, you'll find me cruising on my longboard, immersed in video games, or enjoying films. My free time is also happily spent with my six pets - three dogs and three cats. 🐶🐱
