Hi, I'm Michele Cippone
Java Architect & Full-Stack Developer
I'm a developer who likes figuring out how things work under the hood. I started out writing Minecraft plugins, and these days I spend most of my time building backend systems and web apps.
About Me
I'm a developer who enjoys figuring out how things work. My programming journey is a bit unconventional—it started with Minecraft. Writing custom plugins in Java and learning the Spigot API was my introduction to object-oriented programming and databases.
Since then, I've moved into web development. These days, I mostly work with Spring Boot for backend systems and React/Next.js for the frontend.
I enjoy tackling hard problems and learning new tools. Right now, I'm just focused on writing good code, building things people actually use, and getting better as a developer.
Experience Journey
Founder & Lead Developer
Working on various ideas and tools. Recently put together an anonymous idea matchmaking system called TheBox during a 72-hour hackathon.
Full-Stack Developer
Building web apps using React and Next.js on the frontend, usually backed by Spring Boot. I enjoy taking projects from the initial idea all the way to a working product.
Lead Plugin Developer
Wrote custom Java plugins for an Italian community server with 40+ players. Built systems for virtual economies and player management, which is where I really learned Java and database design.
