Emanuele Sbabo
Web Developer & Technical QA Analyst
I build and maintain web platforms, digital infrastructure, debugging pipelines, and QA workflows. Outside of work, I build tools, write tabletop RPGs, design fictional worlds, and generally find new ways of making computers do things they probably were not supposed to do.
About
I am a web developer with a background in computer science and IT, currently living and working in the Netherlands. Since August 2024, I have been working as a Web Developer at AV Flexologic and ColorControl Group, where I am responsible for the web presence and digital infrastructure of multiple international company brands.
My day-to-day work spans the entire lifecycle of production web systems: leading platform redevelopments, migrating legacy infrastructure into modern platforms (Odoo, Lovable), integrating CRM systems, handling DNS and SSL routing for over 100 domains, and collaborating closely with our IT manager on infrastructure, QA, and security.
Outside of professional web development, I spend a significant amount of time building software tools, writing and running tabletop RPGs, designing fictional worlds, and engineering system automations. I enjoy taking systems that are complicated, brittle, or undocumented and turning them into reliable, well-structured tools.
