i build
web apps,
front to back.

I'm Nicolás di Rago, currently making web apps at nuuk gmbh in Berlin — frontend-led, and at home in the backend.

About

design and engineering —
no handoff in between.

Five years across startups and agencies — radio-streaming apps, political-data platforms, newspaper maintenance. At nuuk gmbh I lead frontend and work across the backend: APIs, data models, infrastructure.

Before that I co-founded supertemplates, building the product and the team. I work end to end, front and back.

Since October 2026 I'm also studying for an M.Sc. in Professional IT Business and Digitalization at HTW Berlin, adding the business and product side to how I build.

An operating system for independent bakeries — orders, stock and production planning. I built the SolidJS front end and the NestJS API, and designed the data model.

The core is the scheduling logic that turns incoming orders into a daily production plan.
