Paolo Papania.

Aarhus, Denmark

I’m a frontend engineer who cares about how things feel. My work brings together UX/UI development, product design and the code that makes it all work.

I like taking something from “what if?” to “that works.” Figuring out the problem, shaping the interface, and getting right.

Currently

I’m the app developer at Studiz, using Angular, Ionic and Capacitor. I take features from interface design through to implementation, working with the backend team to bring them into the app.

Building the Studiz appFrontend

The Studiz app brings student ID, events, lending and discounts into one place. My work includes redesigning lending flows, refining QR scanning and building interest selection for onboarding.

I work across the user flow, interface, API integration and QA: deciding what a student needs to see, then building and checking the interaction.

Earlier
RaskRask RechargeProduct

A thesis project redesigning a corporate wellness booking platform for employees and administrators. I researched the booking and credit-management problems, shaped the user flows, and built a functional prototype with Next.js, Stitches and TanStack Query.

Harmony UIDesign system

A design system for RaskRask’s digital products. I defined the colour, typography and spacing foundations, then built reusable components and patterns for forms, navigation and booking interfaces. These became the shared foundation for the Recharge prototype.

Things I care about

Interfaces that make sense. Code someone else can read. A button that responds just right. Understanding why we’re building something before deciding how.

I’m interested in the space between the big picture and the small details.
