Gian Antunes Grassi - Senior Software Engineer

Grassi.

Hello! I'm Gian Grassi, it's nice to have you here! Let me introduce myself.

I'm a Senior software engineer, who appreciates taking on new challenges and is always looking for ways to improve my skills. I enjoy creating things that live on the internet, whether they are websites, applications or automated tasks. Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work across various technologies on the front-end, back-end, and cloud-based stacks, delivering innovative solutions for a diverse range of projects

- Frontend:
When it comes to programming languages, I have been working a lot with Typescript and Javascript. Also, of course there's no frontend without HTML and CSS, right? I can handle these ones efficiently as well too.
As the front-end layer became much more than just HTML, CSS, and Javascript I also have experience with those libraries and frameworks that are currently in demand. I've worked in projects using Vue.js, Angular, React as well as Next.js (SSR). I've worked more with React which by the way is what I have more experience with.

- Backend:
My backend journey began with C# and .NET during college, where I learned key object-oriented principles and best practices. My professional career took off with Node.js, allowing me to develop APIs from scratch, which deepened my understanding of backend development. Express.js is the framework I’m most comfortable with, and I have also worked with GraphQL using ApolloServer.

- Automated Tests:
I believe testing is an integral part of the development process. Writing unit tests as I develop ensures that my code is reliable and bug-resistant. I have experience with testing tools like Jest, Karma, and Cypress, which help me deliver robust and maintainable code.

- Cloud:
My experience spans across AWS and Azure, where I've applied cloud solutions to elevate project scalability and reliability. While I'm continuously deepening my knowledge in cloud infrastructure, I confidently navigate and implement cloud-based services to meet diverse project needs.

- Recent Experience:
I’ve recently relocated to Amsterdam to join Reaktor, where I'm excited to bring my expertise to new and innovative projects. Before this, I was working remotely from Brazil for Arctouch, where I collaborated with clients across the United States on a variety of impactful projects:
AKQA DC | Tanger Outlets: As a Full Stack Engineer, I played a pivotal role in the development of a mobile/web app designed to enhance user engagement and significantly increase foot traffic at over 38 Tanger Outlets centers in the US and Canada.
AKQA NY | Sunrun: I was instrumental in the creation of a customer-facing app for Sunrun, the top solar energy company in the US. This project involved implementing key features like billing management, payment flows, installation tracking, and user support, all of which were essential in improving user satisfaction and engagement.
Cerveza Modelo: I contributed to a culturally significant project by developing an engaging landing page for Dia de los Muertos, enhancing the digital presence of Cerveza Modelo, Mexico's leading beer brand.
HP | Box One / Instant Ink: I worked on enhancing HP's subscription service by integrating new features aimed at optimizing user engagement and service adoption, reinforcing the value of their subscription model.
Beyond my project work, I also contributed to the recruitment process at Arctouch, ensuring alignment with the company’s core values and project needs, and helping expand the web team.

I’m always eager to connect with fellow professionals and discuss innovative tech solutions. If you're interested in collaborating or just want to chat, feel free to reach out!
