Description

Senior fullstack developer with 8+ years of experience, now CTO and founder of KrystalCode.

Background: I worked as Frontend Team Leader at Nexi, Senior Full Stack at Iagica and IGT, and Senior Web Developer at Palmabit. Today I manage freelance projects and my own SaaS products (GenQR, FinderLead).

What I bring to a project:

•Modern, idiomatic stack - no overengineering, no unnecessary boilerplate

•Ability to handle the full cycle: from architecture to production deployment

•Hands-on infrastructure experience: Docker Swarm + Traefik in production, disaster recovery, monitoring

•CTO mindset: I help make technical decisions aligned with business goals, not just write fancy code

Types of projects I work best on:

•MVPs for early-stage startups (Next.js + Strapi + Postgres)

•Legacy codebase refactoring (especially ORM migrations)

•Security audits and hardening (Strapi/Next.js following OWASP Top 10)

•Production-ready infrastructure setup (Hetzner/Contabo VPS, Docker Swarm, Traefik)

•Fractional CTO for growing teams
