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.

Selected Work

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.
