I build polished websites and apps for startups and agencies.

What I can help with

Useful when a team needs someone who can shape, build, and ship.

Websites and apps for startups

Full React and Next.js websites, product interfaces, and early app builds for teams that need a polished first version without adding a full-time hire.

Agency overflow support

Reliable frontend delivery for busy studios and agencies: responsive implementation, component work, CMS-driven pages, and clear handoff inside existing codebases.

Ecommerce frontend improvements

Salesforce Commerce Cloud, product variation flows, checkout UI, custom fit integrations, accessibility, and the interface details that help shoppers move with confidence.

From a teammate

A note from someone I've worked with.

A project lead's perspective on my code, communication, client-facing contribution, and ability to join a team quickly.

Worked with Danilo on one of our projects at DEPT, one week after he joined the organization. It didn't take much time to figure out his skills and his first steps in the team dynamics and processes were smooth and efficient. As a member of the DEV team, Danilo stood out for his attention to detail, clear and clean coding together with a positive and proactive attitude in client-facing moments. Danilo doesn't just do what's assigned to him, but if given enough space to express himself, he can provide insightful and interesting solutions to the team. Would recommend him to any team.

Where I fit

Best fit for agencies, startups, and ambitious product ideas.

For agencies

Extra frontend capacity without heavy onboarding.

I can join established stacks, match existing patterns, work through responsive UI details, and keep delivery moving when the studio needs another capable pair of hands.

For startups

Full websites and app interfaces with product sense.

I can help shape the UX, build the frontend, and make practical decisions around structure, content, launch, and the early technical choices around a product.

01

Define the useful version

Clarify the audience, scope, constraints, and what needs to feel excellent first.

02

Build the product surface

Turn the direction into responsive pages, components, flows, and awkward states.

03

Refine and ship

Polish what matters, check accessibility details, and leave the code easy to continue.
