Summary
Damiano Giacomello is an experienced engineering manager and full-stack developer with 12+ years building web systems from PHP and Rails to Elixir, Rust and Elm. Based in Milan, he combines hands-on expertise in backend architectures (event sourcing, hexagonal) and databases with a strong front-end sensibility—animation, custom CSS and React—so he can bridge product, design and engineering decisions. At Prima he moved from senior engineer to manager, coaching the team, pairing on designs and steering technical direction while still prototyping microservices in Rust/Elixir. A continuous learner, he deliberately shifted languages over his career to broaden perspective and has contributed extensions and tooling to the Rails ecosystem on GitHub. His pragmatic blend of technical depth and developing leadership makes him effective at turning complex requirements into maintainable, well-architected solutions.
