About
I'm Francesco Balestrieri, a software engineering manager based in Finland. I've spent most of my career working on mobile platforms and developer tools, including stints at Nokia, Intel and Mapbox and I'm currently at Ōura. Occasionally I publish apps as Baleware, my one-man indie development shop.
This site is where I write about software engineering, side projects, gaming, pizza and whatever else catches my attention. I write for myself, but if you find anything interesting I'd love to hear about it.
You can find me on LinkedIn and GitHub.

This site was generated using balenet-gen, my own static site generator written in TypeScript and running on Node.js. It uses the markdown-it markdown parser. It was originally written in Swift as a way to learn the language.
The design is inspired by the ZX Spectrum, my first computer, and was prototyped with Google Stitch.
