Hi, I'm Daniele Caluri.
A passionate Web Developer Full-Stack crafting beautiful and functional web experiences.
View My WorkAbout Me
My journey into web development began in 2004, when as a young enthusiast I discovered the InvisionPowerBoard forum platform. That experience ignited a spark that transformed curiosity into a true vocation. Since then, I have been constantly driven by the desire to tackle new challenges and pioneer innovative solutions, guided by the belief that every line of code is an opportunity to create something meaningful.
My personal philosophy is rooted in relentless learning, writing elegant and maintainable code, and crafting digital experiences that blend flawless functionality with intuitive and impactful design.
Born in Pisa in 1994, I grew up immersed in the world of personal computers, which I started using as a child. Beyond programming, I have a deep passion for video games and home automation, fields that fascinate me for their technological potential and continuous innovation. These passions fuel my creativity and my desire to explore new horizons in the digital realm.
I specialize in technologies like PHP, SQL, React, Node.js, SQL Laravel and Tailwind CSS, always striving to deliver performant and scalable solutions.
