Luciano Battagliero

With over 16 years of experience in web development, I’ve worked on a wide variety of projects, from simple websites to large-scale, high-performance applications. My design background has been key in shaping my approach to front-end development: it’s not just about writing clean, performant code, but about crafting intuitive and user-friendly experiences.

I believe the best results come from working with others, especially in diverse teams where different skills and perspectives come together. Over the years, I’ve mentored colleagues, led technical initiatives, contributed to open-source projects, and given talks at meetups.

I live in Córdoba, Argentina’s second-largest city. In my spare time, I take photos, write, and enjoy the outdoors with my family and our dog —usually with a mate in hand.

Normalize.css is a widely popular CSS package, created in 2011 as “a modern alternative to CSS resets”. It continues to be used today, with over 1 million downloads per month on npm and 52k stars on GitHub.

I first contributed to the project in 2013, remaining moderately active in discussions and smaller contributions. By 2016-2017, I became deeply involved in maintaining and advancing the project —working closely with co-creator Jonathan Neal and a diverse group of contributors— and eventually became one of its top contributors.
