Michael Ciccarelli

I'm an independent software engineer focused on frontend development and product interfaces, with full-stack experience to handle the rest. I work with designers, agencies, and startups to build websites and applications, joining their teams or taking projects from start to finish.

Focus

  • Websites

    Marketing, editorial, portfolio, and commerce.

  • Web applications

    Product UI, dashboards, and internal tools.

  • Design systems

    Tokens, components, documentation, in Figma and in code.

  • Interaction and motion

    Transitions, scroll, canvas, and WebGL.

  • Working with designers

    From rough intent to a finished interface, including the states a file leaves out.

  • Full stack

    APIs, data models, auth, CMS, commerce, and deployment.

Engagements

  • Project

    By the week, from $5k a week. Scope and price fixed before work starts.

  • Embedded

    By the month, from $10k a month. A senior engineer inside your team. Three-month minimum.

  • Retainer

    By the month, from two days a month. Senior review and direction for teams that already have builders.
