user@aqno:~$cat ~/README.md

I'm Giuseppe — a software engineer and team lead. I write the code, review the code, and occasionally have to explain to a stakeholder why "just add a button" takes three sprints.

Ten-plus years across backend, frontend, and the infrastructure holding it together. I care about shipping things that work over things that look good in a slide deck.

Between deploys, I help run my family's olive oil business from Sicily (real olives, zero unit tests), and I'm always mid-experiment on a new pizza dough ratio.

user@aqno:~$ls -la ~/skills/

userdevtypescript

TypeScript

Because plain JavaScript wasn’t strict enough.

userdevreact

React

Reusable components, clean UI logic, and a sprinkle of JSX.

userdevnode.js

Node.js

JavaScript on the backend, because why not both?

userdevrest-apis

REST APIs

Clean endpoints, smart contracts, and no weird surprises.

userdevpodman

Podman

Rootless containers and Quadlets. Docker who?

userdevdocker

Docker

Still the container OG. Sometimes you need both.

userdevkubernetes

Kubernetes

Not my daily driver, but I know how it ticks.

userdevopenshift

OpenShift

Kubernetes, with an enterprise touch. Been there, deployed that.

userdevargo-cd

Argo CD

GitOps workflows that don’t suck. Loved using it.

userdevci/cd

CI/CD

Pipelines that do the work so you don’t forget the boring stuff.

userdevinfrastructure-as-code

Infrastructure as Code

Declarative beats clicky-click every time.

userdevbash

Bash

One-liners, automation, and a healthy respect for typos.

userdevlinux

Linux

Daily driver. If it’s not CLI-first, I’m not interested.

userdevsystem-design

System Design

Making things scale without making a mess.

userdevapi-design

API Design

RESTful, predictable, and built to last.

userdevgit

Git

Branching, rebasing, and now even generating commits.

userdevnginx

NGINX

Reverse proxy setup with all the right headers.

userdevfirebase

Firebase

For small tools and quick MVPs. Handy when used right.

aqno.dev (2026)

Personal site & blog.

My personal website, built with Astro and TailwindCSS. Because the world definitely needed another developer homepage. Still a work in progress, but hey, at least it's not built with WordPress.

Olio Aquino (2023)

Family olive oil from Sicily.

A family side project with zero unit tests and a very real olive press: handpicked Biancolilla olives from Sicily, cold-pressed on harvest day, sold across Switzerland. Proof that not every side project needs a Git repo.

Larry the Bot (2026)

Clash of Clans recruiting bot.

A production Discord bot for Clash of Clans communities: link your village, publish formatted clan and player recruiting posts with cooldowns, schedule recurring posts, and run the whole thing from a web admin panel. What started as a small clan helper quietly grew into a proper product.

Gitty (2025)

AI-powered commit messages

One of my first AI projects — a TypeScript CLI that turns diffs into clean commit messages. A relic from the early days of generative AI, back when writing commit messages wasn't yet part of the AI workflow. These days that's table stakes, so Gitty mostly sits there waiting for its final tag. Still, it was a genuinely cool thing to build. 🤖
