Design & frontend engineer / Italy

Interfaces
that feel right.

I’m Marko. I bring interface design and frontend engineering together, building expressive products that hold up beyond the first impression.

Under the
surface.

  • Character, with purpose.

    A visual identity should carry through to the product you use.

    Nopebook shares its voice between the landing page, tracker, and rejection translator.

  • Craft you can check.

    A design requirement becomes stronger when the system can enforce it.

    MangaMode checks editor text contrast before packaging each release.

  • Care when it breaks.

    A failed save deserves as much thought as a polished first impression.

    Nopebook keeps the working copy and offers backup and recovery actions.

Behind the work

Still me,
off the clock.

I’m Marko, a design and frontend engineer in Italy. Days go to how a product looks and how it behaves, usually in React and TypeScript.

I like staying with something after the first version. With Nopebook, the sticker was the easy part. Making sure someone’s applications survive a bad save took longer, and that was the part worth getting right.

The laptop does get closed. Then it’s dad mode, with anime in whatever time is left. That’s where MangaMode came from: themes meant to make a long day at the editor a little easier on the eyes.
