Behind the
studio.
Five years building software — from startup basements to Series B product teams. I founded Studio Seahorse to do the work I love, on my own terms: end-to-end, no handoffs, fast.
One person doing
five people's jobs.
I started writing code in a university dorm room in 2012. Since then I've worked at companies you've heard of — Stripe, Linear — and a couple you haven't: early-stage startups where the job title was “engineer” but the actual job was everything. That's where I learned that the most valuable person on a small team is the one who can hold the whole product in their head.
The last two years I've leaned hard into AI as a force multiplier — and found that it doesn't replace craft, it just lets one person do what used to take five. Studio Seahorse is the result.
I take on a small number of projects each year and run them end-to-end. The same person who runs your discovery workshop also writes your database schema, designs your onboarding flow, and deploys to production on Friday afternoon.
Four rules I
don't break.
These aren't values on a slide deck. They're decisions I make every week.
Twelve years,
condensed.
Not just
a résumé.
I live in Italy but work with clients across EU and the US. I surf before my laptop opens. I contribute to open-source projects when I can't sleep. I believe async communication is almost always better than a meeting, and I'll prove it.
