About this site

This site is meant to be a portfolio of projects realized during my freelance activity and a repository of code experiments made during my spare time.

I’ve called the site Passiomatic since my interest in web design is mostly driven by passion. I’ve learned everything I known about the craft of building web sites during the last eight years of activity in the field.
