The Journey So Far
Hi, I’m Rocco, Senior Front-End Developer at Zulu Shack.
I love taking a design and turning it into a website. I enjoy figuring things out, solving problems, and making sure everything works the way it should.
Outside of work, family comes first. I love spending time with my beautiful wife, our kids, and the rest of our family. If I’ve got some spare time, I’m usually busy building something or learning a new technology. I enjoy experimenting with everything from WordPress plugins and mobile apps to Unity, VR, APIs, and database-driven systems.
Projects I'm Proud Of
From innovative websites to scalable digital solutions, these projects reflect my passion for turning ideas into impactful experiences.
Your Future Franchise
One of the projects I’m currently enjoying the most. I started out designing a few pages alongside the content team, and it’s been really cool watching the site transform into something much bigger.
Third Eye-Tech
Probably one of the coolest-looking websites I’ve worked on. The bold 2D artwork and colour palette make the whole site stand out, and it was a lot of fun bringing it all together.
Conrad Marine
The tap fin idea was such a clever concept, and I loved building around it. The water visuals really tie everything together and give the site a unique feel.
Creative Love
This one’s been a journey. I’ve spent a lot of time redesigning and refining the site over the years, so it’s rewarding to see how much it’s evolved.
Tracy Lee Nagle Law
I helped design a number of pages and elements, creating a clean, modern look that fits the brand perfectly.
ShipYourCarNow
One of the bigger projects I’ve worked on. I’ve designed a range of pages over time, and it’s been great seeing the website continue to grow.
SFIM@
I worked on designing various pages and site elements, helping shape the overall look and feel of the website.
Orlando Music Week
Who doesn’t enjoy designing a website for a music festival? Definitely one of the more fun projects to work on, with lots of energy and personality.
Brew Street Coffee
Coffee is my favourite… so this project was always going to be on my list. Designing a website for a coffee brand made the job that much better.
Mansa Medical
I helped design several pages and website elements, creating a professional, user-friendly experience.
Cavastone
A newer project where I’ve had the chance to contribute to the design. Looking forward to seeing how it develops.
Hatchers Floors
I designed various pages and site elements, helping create a clean, polished website that showcases their work.
Quick Questions

Pretty much anything. Websites, custom WordPress solutions and plugins, apps, games… if there’s a problem to solve or an idea to build, I’m usually keen to give it a go.
- What keeps you busy outside of work?

My beautiful wife, our kids, and spending time with family. After that, it’s usually gaming, working on random side projects, or learning something new (because apparently I don’t know how to switch off).
- What are you learning right now?
-
At the moment I’m diving deeper into AI and VR development. I enjoy picking up new technologies and seeing what I can build with them. There’s always another project or idea waiting.

Coffee. It’s not even a competition.

Unity. I’ve been using it for years and have built everything from 2D and 3D games to game-based learning systems, database-driven applications, and more recently, VR experiences. It’s one of those tools where you’re always learning something new.
- What's something people might be surprised to learn about you?

People usually know me for websites, but I’ve also built Android and iOS apps, custom APIs, WordPress plugins, payment integrations, Unity games, database-driven systems, and even my own Ubuntu server. I love figuring out how different technologies fit together to build something useful.
