Rossella Ferrandino
Hi 👋 I'm Rossella
I’m a Software Engineer at Nama Studio in Milano.
With over 6 years of experience in web development, I’m passionate about harnessing the power of technology to create impactful solutions that drive positive change for businesses and society.
At Nama Studio, I specialize in Shopify development, UX design, and building high-performing, sustainable e-commerce websites. We focus on empowering ethical and eco-conscious brands, helping them thrive online while reducing their carbon footprints and promoting accessibility—values that are reflected in our projects, like the Nama Studio agency website.
Before Nama, I worked at Flagship LLC, Japan's first Shopify Plus partner, where I customized e-commerce experiences to fit unique business strategies. I also co-organized events with Women Who Code and now contribute to Women in Software Engineering Japan.
Though my journey began in marketing and customer retention, a pivotal moment came when I collaborated with developers to re-imagine the UX for Everyman Cinema’s loyalty program, sparking my interest in software engineering. From there, I pursued coding through FreeCodeCamp, Codebar, and Women Who Code London, eventually making the transition to tech in Tokyo.
At Nama Studio, I turn business requirements into clean, efficient code, crafting intuitive, user-friendly e-commerce websites. I’m also expanding my skillset into React development, aiming to build dynamic, modern web applications. This growth reflects my dedication to staying on top of new technologies and continuously evolving as a developer.
In 2025, I’ll be relocating to Japan to explore new career opportunities. I’m eager to connect with recruiters and companies in Japan, bringing my experience in Shopify and React to new challenges in the tech and e-commerce space.
Outside of development, I love writing — whether it’s technical blog post about development or travel articles about my global adventures.
よろしくお願いしいます！
