Hey there, I'm Daniele aka Barbi. I was the one-man show behind the curtain of dB Development  and now I'm the man behind Plin Code, bringing ideas to life and crafting solutions that matter.

I'm a seasoned Software Engineer with over a decade of experience in the tech realm. I code, I teach how to write beautiful code and I write articles on Medium.

Backend development is where my heart sings. I am a PHP Ninja developer and Laravel enthusiast. I use a lot of open source software so I'm an opensource contributor. (By the way, feel free to join us at Open Source Saturday!)

I'm currently working on a new project using Hexagonal Architecture, tackling the challenges of the start-up world and delivering innovative, high-quality software.

One of my Laravel packages has reached an incredible267084 downloads so far* – and counting!
*A personal milestone I'm really proud of 🚀

I've also recently released a new package:Laravel ISTAT Geography, which helps manage Italian geographical data from ISTAT. It might seem silly, but after using it for the 3rd time, I decided to create it properly. Now I'm working on making it as popular as my other package!

Well, let's not forget about Typescript – its dance between the front-end and back-end is nothing short of thrilling. Also NestJs is my friend.

I'm an active member of PUG Torino and take every opportunity to share my knowledge as a speaker.

I know you're curious about my personality, so why not take a peek at my Big Five Test results?

Still, I know I'm overqualified, and I like to think that being autonomous, authoritative, organized, and precise is a good thing – even if it comes with a price.
If you're looking for something quick and easy, though, there are plenty of options out there. Who knows? Google might have just what you need!

Oh, and while you're here... grab my CVBarbaro Daniele CV. Who knows? It might come in handy!
