This is the shortest sales website you will have seen
Hello, my name is Alberto and I make software. Web & mobile apps using JavaScript.
- I work without strict deadlines because I believe in continuous improvement, and setting rigid deadlines can lead to frustration for both parties.
- I'm a fan of asynchronous work, so you'll have fewer calls with me and more written updates on the progress of your project.
- Lastly, I don't charge by the hour upfront. You tell me what you want, and I'll provide you with a price. The clearer you are about your project, the easier it will be for me to give you a fair price.
That's it. If you have a clear idea of your project, you can send me an email at hello@albertogalca.com. If you're not sure yet and would like some assistance, you can schedule a call with me (120€ fee). You can discuss your doubts, and I'll do my best to help you out.
Some of the projects I have worked on
Kalm Places (2023)
Creator
Kalm Places is a directory of places to find calm in a noisy world. It was born to share the places that bring us peace, invite us to silence, and help us combat the noise problem. Because these places exist and are waiting to be discovered.
Sunbathe (2023)
Designer and mobile developer
Julia and I are collaborating in Sunbathe. This app aims to help you become more aware of vitamin D importance by showing you the optimal times to get your dose of vitamin D in your location.
Inentendible (2023)
Designer and web developer
My friend Marga wanted to offer her brand strategy services. For 2 weeks, we were conceptualizing the idea and implementing it. This is the result, a first version of the website, simple and straightforward. She studied journalism, so we wanted to use the layout of newspapers as a reference, introducing some elements that could remind us of them.
Bûmerang (2021)
Full-stack Developer
During my time at Bûmerang, I wore many hats. In my first couple of months, I got the mobile app up and running. Then, I took the reins of our tech team (3 awesome people), where I integrated vital business metrics, revamped our architecture by switching from MongoDB to PostgreSQL, built an internal admin tool, set up a slick metrics dashboard, added error tracking, and even handled the server migration to Heroku, among a slew of other tasks.
Colvin (2018)
Mobile developer
I took the lead in technology selection and the application launch. Our goal was to quickly validate the app's viability, and speed was crucial. After opting for React Native and diving into the project, we managed to roll out our initial version in just three weeks.
Waynabox (2016)
Web Developer
I played a key role in the brand's rebranding efforts back in 2016. Waynabox brought in Carlitos and Patricia , the creative geniuses behind significant campaigns like "Welcome to the Independent Republic of Tu Casa" with IKEA and Vueling's "Las Nubes," to spearhead the rebranding project. Collaborating closely with them and our talented design team, we crafted a fresh brand identity and seamlessly integrated it across our website.

He is very methodical, detail-oriented and concerned about the quality of everything delivered."
