Pagina Cortese is a service dedicated to the management of courtesy pages for websites and digital services: maintenance notices, temporary unavailability, errors, and planned downtime.

The project originates from a recurring issue: courtesy pages are often improvised, unclear, inaccessible, and technically unreliable. Pagina Cortese addresses this problem in a structured way, providing lightweight, reliable, and compliant pages, designed to communicate clearly even when the main service is unavailable.

The focus is on:

• message clarity

• continuity of the user experience

• accessibility (WCAG)

• fast loading performance

• simple technical integration

Pagina Cortese turns a critical moment—downtime or service interruption—into a controlled and professional touchpoint between a service and its users.

Randombola is born at the intersection of play, technology, and participation. It is a digital experience designed to be dynamic, interactive, and social, where users engage with interaction flows that combine WebRTC for real-time communication, dynamically generated QR codes with custom parameters, and an interface built to guide users step by step.

Every element of Randombola has been designed to enhance usability, responsiveness, and playfulness: from the way users join a session to real-time interactions between participants. The project explores a new approach to event-based and shared digital experiences, blending UX/UI design with tailored front-end development and real-time technologies.

June 2025 - After creating Firminia, I needed an app to configure personalized parameters for each user. Using Figma Make, ChatGPT, and Cursor, I developed a fully functional React + TypeScript web application. Now, each IoT device can be reconfigured infinitely without needing to be reflashed.

January 2025 - I began designing and developing an IoT device as a way to learn programming and explore LLMs. From the ground up, I shaped the concept, modelled the chassis, designed the hardware, and programmed the software using the ESP-IDF C++ framework. The result is a compact desktop device that checks for new documents to be signed in the AskMeSign digital signature service.
This is a personal project.
