Alessio Zappa

👾 who am I?

I’m a Senior Frontend Engineer with extensive experience designing, building, and scaling modern web applications. My work spans from low-level fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) to advanced frontend architectures using frameworks like React and Next.js, with a strong focus on performance, accessibility, and maintainability.

I currently work as a Senior Frontend Engineer at Nozomi Networks, contributing to complex, high-impact products in a security-critical environment. Previously, I was part of the Enterprise Team at QA (former Cloud Academy), focusing on building robust, user-centric platforms. Before that, I co-founded and led frontend and design efforts at Plastic Panda, helping shape e-learning products from concept to production.

My strengths include frontend architecture, component systems, design systems, performance optimization, and close collaboration with design and backend teams. I care deeply about clean code, developer experience, and building interfaces that are both elegant and reliable.

Outside of engineering, I enjoy Japanese cuisine, tea culture, and manga collecting — interests that balance my analytical work with creativity and curiosity.
