Vincent Giardina

I develop solutions quickly for testing an idea or setup a simple product. I work from ideation to the final MVP, including maintenance if necessary. I handle visual identity and design, to finally implement the actual solution.

Next.js / Storybook / Tailwind CSS / Figma

It started as a side project and eventually became an actual business reaching over 5k monthly users. The company was sold in February 2023. I developed the project from A to Z: graphic identity, UI and UX design, marketing, development and support.

How to deal with infinite choices while considering user satisfaction? Research through design approach

There was no user interface for mapping data to RML format. I have lead user research through interviews, observation, and screen recording. I proposed and tested different alternatives with very different approaches. Finally, I designed and developed the proper UI

Creation of the design system of the product, following the atomic design approach Web development mainly based on the PHP framework Symfony I lead and build an application based on the Extract Transform Load design pattern managing various kinds of input.

Depending on the project I worked in many fields: full-stack development, UX research, UI design, object design, bot dev, various experimentation (open frameworks, processing, Arduino)

My role during 8 months in this non-profit association was to attend and advise fablab members (from student to entrepreneur) and to develop projects for the community - lead workshops of Processing (JAVA framework for visual art) - teach and practice 3d printing, laser cutting, CNC milling, CAD (AD fusion360) and basics of electronics - design of a web interface for remote laser cutting for professionals. From the desire to make fablab more viable, I thought that opening the fablab to B2B service would be a great source of revenue La Machinerie is also a social project incubator and a coworking space.
