Giovanni Smecca_
Full Stack Developer, Certified Nice Guy
My name is Giovanni Smecca and it's nice to finally meet.
I love writing software, specifically using Laravel and Vue.js. I love hanging out with my family and tinkering with anything I can get my hands on. When I'm not soaking up whatever I can, I try my best at helping others. You can find me on IRC, Discord or Stack Overflow doing my best to answer any questions I can.
Below you can find my most recent job history, projects and side hustles, all which are live, usable sites in production. So feel free to check them out!
Short and sweet, I know.
