À propos de Matteo

Hi there!

For the last (too many😭) years, I led software product teams in building several successful software products.

Throughout time, I built several SaaS products of my own as well:
- zenleadr.com: a toolkit for engineering managers
- flowrent.app: a bike/scooter rental management system
- todoer.pro: a todo list app powering my daily life

I love building products and now I want to do this full time. Contact me if you are looking for more than just a code monkey (we have AI agents for that).

If you are looking for the right strategic partner to launch your idea into the world, don't hesitate to reach out. I thrive in the 0->1 phase of the product and I love making customers happy.

As your product grows, I can accommodate growth on my side as well, with reliable and trusted engineers with whom I worked in the past.

I have maximum flexibility in terms of tech stack and can surely accommodate your requirements.

Reach out! Even if it does not work out in the end, it's always a net positive!
