He is exceptional at balancing client needs with those of the company. He treats his co-workers like family and is not afraid to defend his point of view if he believes a better solution is possible. It was my pleasure to work with Damiano and to now call him my friend. "

"I've known Damiano for 5 years, having collaborated closely at SiteZeus as Sr. Software Engineers. As a proficient Full Stack Developer, Damiano's standout strength lies in UI development. He played a pivotal role in shaping our UI architecture, deftly handling our HTML and CSS patterns, and was instrumental in transitioning from an outdated knockout framework to Vue.js. Beyond his technical prowess, Damiano was consistently approachable and always willing to offer guidance. I wholeheartedly recommend him for roles as a Full Stack or UI Software Engineer/Architect; his depth of knowledge would be a boon to any team."
