Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniele Scasciafratte is a backend-focused software engineer and open source builder with 12+ years of experience, co-founder and CTO at Codeat and currently working as "Backend Guy - Spec Driven Coding" at Regolo.ai. He blends hands-on backend engineering (PHP, Django, Laravel), DevOps and localization work with community leadership—having been a WordPress Core contributor, Mozilla rep and long-time volunteer, and now a maintainer of Amber Lang. Daniele has a track record of shipping developer-facing tools and infrastructure (WordPress Plugin Boilerplate, XHGui improvements, VVV provisioning) while improving developer workflows through generators, i18n and CI refinements. He also drives open-source governance and ecosystem growth in Italy via roles with the Italian Linux Society and LibreItalia, treating open source as governance and sustainability as much as code. Behind the scenes he often focuses on spec-driven implementations and performance-aware backend refactors that make projects easier to maintain and scale.
