About

I'm Nicola, from Italy.

I make things for the web, and I've been at it since long before it was a job. The rest of my tinkering happens around the house, where I like when software quietly does the boring parts.

Outside of work my two great talents are eating and dancing to house music, and I'm clearly better at the first one. The groovy stuff really gets to me, with the bassline moving before my brain has agreed to it. Kerri Chandler is the closest thing I have to a religion. Also, I photograph every single palm tree I walk past, no exceptions.

Lately in my ears
