Full Stack Unicorn Developer | Entrepreneur | Educator

Hi, I’m Luca, a Full Stack Unicorn developer and business owner with a passion for building comprehensive software solutions and empowering others to master full-stack development.

Years ago, I decided to take the leap and build my own app from scratch. I began by diving into courses and tutorials, but the real game-changer was working closely with expert programmers. Instead of writing code for me, they guided me as I wrote every line, providing mentorship through daily one-on-one screen-sharing sessions.

At first, I followed instructions robotically, asking endless questions. But over time, our sessions evolved into high-level discussions about organizing code, defining conventions, and making architectural decisions together. That experience transformed me into a developer capable of tackling complex full-stack projects independently.

My Journey:

• I started with the frontend using React/React Native, Redux, and REST APIs with Axios. Over time, I replaced Redux with Recoil and Recoil with Jotai for state management.

• I wrote my own media library, keeping REST APIs with Axios exclusively for file uploads while transitioning everything else to GraphQL.

• For the backend, I worked with Apollo GraphQL, Prisma, and a PostgreSQL database, creating efficient and scalable solutions.

• Deployment was the next challenge. I mastered Kubernetes on Digital Ocean, a process that took over a year, followed by setting up automated continuous deployment pipelines using GitLab CI/CD.

This journey wasn’t just about learning tools; it was about gaining a mindset for solving real-world challenges in software development. Along the way, I realized that finding developers with this unique combination of frontend, backend, and deployment skills was rare—so why not train the next generation of Full Stack Unicorn developers?

The Full Stack Unicorn Developer Series:

That realization led me to Udemy, where I’ve launched the Full Stack Unicorn Developer Internship Course Series. This growing series is designed to transform programmers into versatile full-stack developers, capable of handling every stage of a project—from the frontend and backend to deployment on a Kubernetes cluster.

In these courses, I share my knowledge and real-world experience:

• Building a frontend for both browsers and mobile devices.

• Creating a backend with GraphQL, Prisma, and PostgreSQL.

• Setting up a complete local development environment.

• Deploying a frontend, backend, and database on a Kubernetes Cluster, complete with a real domain name and SSL/TLS certificates.

Why This Series Matters:

My goal is to create a global community of skilled Full Stack Unicorn developers. The more developers who master this skill set, the better it is for us, our clients, and the end-users who rely on the applications we build.

If you’re ready to take your skills to the next level and become the developer that every team dreams of, this series is for you.

Let’s make full-stack development approachable, efficient, and transformative—together.
