My Portfolio

Matías Candella

Fullstack developer with over 5 years of experience building robust solutions. I have a strong background in backend (.NET Core / Node.js, APIs, microservices) and a growing focus on the frontend. In recent years, I’ve added Angular to my stack to build complete, modern, and well-thought-out applications from end to end.

I enjoy designing scalable systems and optimizing processes, but also creating clear, functional, and accessible interfaces. Clean code, solid architecture, and real impact are the things I value most in every project.

Projects

Freelance Project

Website developed for a French company in the geospatial sector. I was responsible for the design, structure, and full development to communicate their value proposition, services, and business vision.

Blue Planet

Blue Planet is a website I developed for a French company specializing in geospatial solutions. The goal was to create a platform that clearly and attractively showcased their value proposition and services. I handled the entire process, from initial design to final implementation, ensuring the site was functional, visually appealing, and SEO-optimized.

  • I participate in meetings, in English, with the client to define the UI of each section and the type of content that should go in each one.
  • I develop the one-page corporate website using Astro and JavaScript, applying a modular component architecture for a high-performance static site.
  • I implement styles using Tailwind CSS.
  • I incorporate micro-interactions and advanced animations (typewriter effect, smooth transitions, Animation On Scroll (AOS)) to enhance the UX.
  • I optimize performance using lazy loading, WebP image formats, and a clean folder structure.
  • I improve SEO through semantic structure, proper metadata, and static route configuration.
  • I manage dependencies with npm and keep the GitHub repository well-organized, with version control and configuration documentation.

EditoriApp is a publishing management platform designed to facilitate the creation, organization, and tracking of books and authors. Users can explore new releases, search for books by category, filter by author, and easily make purchases.

  • I designed the interface using Angular and Tailwind CSS to ensure a smooth, modern, and responsive experience.
  • I implemented the backend with Node.js using a clean, layered architecture to manage books, authors, categories, and orders.
  • Users can browse featured books, view details, filter by genre or author, and add products to the shopping cart.
  • I developed an authentication system with JWT to allow user registration and enable order management.
  • The app includes an admin panel for uploading new books and authors in a secure environment.
  • The project is deployed on Vercel, using environment variables and CI/CD best practices.
