CIRCA 1983

Nothing to see here

I'm Damián, and I code WordPress sites that actually work.

The Bio

I’m 42, born in Buenos Aires - Argentina, Camila’s father, Caro’s partner. Half Italian, amateur cook, motorcycle rider and overall tech enthusiast.

I've been working in this industry for the last 20+ years, and more than half of that using Wordpress as my main weapon of choice. I absolutely love how powerfull HTML + CSS can be, and you can check some of the experiments I've done in the past on my CodePen profile (in where I gained a good reputation over the years). I also have a keen eye for design and overall great user experience, so I regularly do design work whenever I have the chance.

You can also find me on LinkedIn or you can also download my resume if you are more interested in my work experience.

CSS-only Notifications Component

This is a Sass mixin that provides notifications functionality using little-to-none Javascript. It makes use of CSS transitions and animations to display notifications as popups or bars on different locations of the viewport. The best thing is that it is fully customizable and easy to use.
