Custom software that solves real business problems.
I build web applications, APIs and distributed systems with architecture designed to last. From prototype to production, no shortcuts.
30 minutes free, no commitmentScalable architecture
I design systems that work today and scale tomorrow. I do not build to impress in a demo — I build to hold up in production.
Full-stack, for real
Backend, frontend, cloud infrastructure and CI/CD. A single technical point of contact for the full development lifecycle.
Code that is easy to understand
I write clean, documented, tested code. When the project grows, your next developer will not curse my name.
How I work
Analysis
I understand your business problem, not just the technical requirements. We define scope, priorities and success criteria together.
Iterative development
I build in short cycles with frequent deliveries. You see real progress every week, not after three months.
Production delivery
Deployment, monitoring, documentation. I hand you a working system, not a half-finished prototype.
Who this service is for
- Companies that need a robust, custom web application or API
- Startups that want to move from prototype to a scalable product
- Teams that need to temporarily reinforce their development capacity
- Projects that require complex integrations between systems
Real projects
Gens Aurea
Through glueglue, I developed digital solutions for Europe's leading precious metals group: backend, market system integrations and internal tooling.
TIM
Digital solutions for one of Europe's largest telecommunications operators. Backend at scale, high availability and enterprise environment.
ANAS
Management systems and digital platforms for the Italian road infrastructure network. Backend, integrations and data processing.
Technology stack
Among other technologies. The stack adapts to the needs of each project.
Estimated timeline
From 2 weeks for small projects to 6+ months for complex systems. Incremental deliveries every 1–2 weeks.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work alone or with a team?
It depends on the project. For mid-sized projects I work solo. For larger projects I lead a team of trusted professionals.
What languages and technologies do you use?
Primarily Python and Node.js for backend, React for frontend, PostgreSQL for data, and AWS/GCP for infrastructure. I choose the right tool for each case.
Can I see progress during development?
Yes. I work in 1–2 week sprints with functional deliveries. You see real progress, not slide decks.
Do I own the code?
Yes. All source code, documentation and infrastructure belong to the client. No lock-in.

Vedrai I worked with Francesco as backend lead on one of the most technically demanding projects I've been involved in. The stack spanned several very different technologies, and he took ownership of all of them, getting up to speed remarkably fast. What impressed me most was his ability to integrate complex systems on first contact — grasping how unfamiliar pieces fit together and making them work correctly, the first time. That instinct is rare, and it made him the person the team relied on when the hard problems landed (we still rely on him as of now!). I'd gladly work with Francesco again and recommend him to any team that needs a dev who can own complexity rather than be slowed by it.
Francesco is a professional who conveys confidence, not only from the point of view of in-depth technical skills but above all thanks to his way of tackling the most complex challenges. I feel confident, in conclusion, in suggesting Francesco as a real added value for any development team.
Francesco is an incredible hardcore worker, efficient and super skilled. He helped my organisation throughout all the development of a industry changer IoT system which required a massive effort on the backend side.
Francesco is an excellent programmer, whose great skills have allowed him to handle a variety of areas with excellent results, especially on the back-end and web development side. He is well suited to teamwork and knows how to respect agreed schedules, even under heavy stress and tight deadlines.
I strongly recommend Mr. Francesco Antonio Sessa as Back-End Web Developer. During 2016, I had the pleasure to collaborate with Mr. Sessa in the context of various Web Development projects for KCS Media Srls. I was impressed by his capability of capturing and leveraging my personal feedback to the extent of evaluating and reviewing the ongoing services. I also appreciated his capability of smoothly entering and boosting multiSite development, and his very helpful and flexible attitude towards the team. He has many soft skills, a very sharp analytic approach to problem solving, and a natural inclination to exploring new opportunities. Overall, I strongly recommend Mr. Sessa as a skilled as well as trusted professional in Web development and Web maintenance matters.
