Daniele Montecchi · Italy
I build for the web, and I write about what I ship.
Here I write about AI, coding and the modern web: practical content based on what I actually use.
I've been writing code for over twenty years, and for years I've also led teams and processes.
I've been building with PHP since 2002, today with Laravel and the TALL stack. I design web applications and see them through to production.
As IT Manager and CTO I led development teams: technical decisions, code review, growing people.
I coach agile teams in banking, with the business involved in every sprint.
How I work
I start from what has to change for the people who will use the product. Framework, app or a plain spreadsheet come after.
Between a brilliant solution and one the team gets at first read, I pick the second. It costs less to maintain.
Performance, SEO, team velocity: I measure before and after every change, so the result shows and the discussion is about numbers.
I ship often and in small pieces. If something goes wrong it shows at once and rolling back takes minutes.
My own projects, coming soon and live.
The dashboard for freelancers, webmasters and agencies: every client's domains, renewals, services and margins under watch, with the pro forma invoice ready when you need it.
Coming soon
My first book: the paper planner for Scrum Masters, eight sprints from the sprint goal to the retrospective, with calendars that have no year. Coming out on Amazon soon.
