What I build

From moving parts
to working systems.

Product thinking, operational experience and hands-on development, together from the start.

01

Automation & integration

Make, Zapier, n8n and custom APIs. Connect the tools you already use and give repetitive work somewhere else to go.

02

AI & conversational systems

AI agents, conversational interfaces and knowledge search. Built around a clear task and the information it needs.

03

Data & backends

Databases, authentication, payments and production workflows. The foundations that make a useful interface work.

04

Product development

Web apps, PWAs and mobile products. From a focused first version to something ready to publish and support.

The person behind the products

Portrait of Damiano, founder of NaughtyBear Labs

Founder · Product builder · SaaS operator

Hey, I'm Damiano.

My background is in SaaS operations and enterprise client management, with a focus on revenue systems, renewals, client health, and process improvement.

I combine that operational experience with hands-on software development. I build systems that reduce manual work, make revenue opportunities visible, and turn complicated processes into tools people can actually use.

NaughtyBear Labs is also my product studio. Every app here began with a real problem: follow-through became The Cicerone Method, difficult mornings became Dawnly, grocery costs became SmartCart, and a language game became Pig Latin.

About the name: Naughty Bear is my German Shepherd and the studio's entirely unofficial head of quality control.

Automation & workflow support

on manual work?
