Hello, this is Nacho Rapallo

I am a versatile developer (frontend/backend). What you might call a full stack developer.

I feel more identified with the term craftsman.
As a Software Craftsman I focus more on the results than on languages, tools, or frameworks.

Design is about removing things.
Choosing what matters, highlighting it, and getting rid of everything else.

Lifelong Learning: I am in a constant search/learning of new and better methodologies.

Experience

More than 20 years programming in JavaScript, in almost all its flavors:: Vanilla JS, ActionScript, CoffeeScript and Typescript.
I have worked with PHP, Ruby/Rails, Node but now i prefer React, NextJS, Svelte, ReactNative, Expo, NW.js, Electron.

Interests:
Web applications / mobile applications (Android / iOS)
CLI applications (linux)
Desktop applications (MacOS / Windows)
Google Chrome extensions
Frontend / Backend / Databases
Passionate about UI / UX design
Minimalist and intuitive design.
Teamwork, sharing, leading, and learning from others\ Not taking anything for granted
Simplifying as a way of life is the most complex and satisfying
I enjoy challenges SOLVING PROBLEMS is my job

Developer Stack 2025

I'm sharing my current stack as a presentation letter so you can see how I think in terms of technological decisions.

Apps should use the same technologies adapted to different devices to take advantage of all their native possibilities.

My development stack is changing over time adapting to the needs I have in my projects.

If we take a snapshot of the current moment, my preferences would be these:

Mobile

Typescript
Impossible to think of a new project without data typing.
Expo
I believe there's currently no better way to make hybrid applications for iOS/Android/Web. Especially if we want to share code between platforms and not reinvent the wheel.
Expo router
To structure any mobile app and make it scalable and accessible.
Expo React Server Components
Share data between server and client without complications and with the same code on client and server.
Expo DOM Components
Being able to use web components within a native application is ideal for many components and use cases. It saves us time and reinventing things that already work perfectly.
Moti
"Write once, animate everywhere".
Fast and fluid animations and transitions taking advantage of native device capabilities.
Nativewind
Tailwind for mobile: I can't find a better way to design styles that adapt equally to any device and screen.
React Native
100% native React on mobile.

Web

Typescript
Type management is vital in any new project that wants to be scalable and maintained over time.
React
Version > 19. Always the latest versions of React to take advantage of their improvements.
API
Restful or GraphQL, API depending on the project.
React Server Components
Communication between server and client in a typed and fast way.
NextJS / Vite
Depending on the project size.
Tailwind
Responsive components adaptable to any screen size.

Databases

PostgreSQL / Redis / SQLite
(depending on project needs)

Libraries

The hybrid libraries I use in all types of projects

Zod
The type management and validation I like the most.

Tanstack Query / Tanstack Store / Zustand
State management, both server and client side.

Tanstack Forms
Form handling, with validations and typing.

Hosting

Vercel / EAS hosting

Cloud

Google Storage / AWS

AI (Vercel AI)

(OpenAI / Gemini / Claude / Copilot)
We shouldn't close ourselves to a specific AI, we should use the one that best adapts to the project's needs. AI APIs are constantly changing and focusing on a specific one is a risk and a long-term mistake. With Vercel's API we'll use the AI that best adapts to what we need without having to worry about specific implementations.

Github

Management and repository of all my projects

n8n

Task management. Automating projects into small tasks is vital in any project.
If we use AI, scraping or integrations with different external services, tools like n8n make our life easier.

tldraw

It's my favorite way to plan projects, draw, share ideas and sketch together with the client the solutions we're going to develop together.

Figma

Design and prototype of any project or component.
I don't start programming if I don't previously have clear its functionality and design.
