About Me

My name is Giancarlo, and I work as a Software Developer, specialized in building web applications with TypeScript.

I'm originally from Italy, but spent the largest part of the past decade in London (UK), where I worked for various companies, especially in the financial sector.

2021-2026

I run MakerKit and Formtoro (with a cofounder). I now live in Taipei. I like traveling in Asia, and spend the summers in my hometown in Italy.

2020

I took on a contract with TradeWeb, one of the most important Electronic Trading services in the world. The project involved a difficult transition from a Flash/C++ based charting library to a new, Angular and Highcharts stack. We were able to swap all the charts before the Flash kill-switch in January 2021.

2019

I joined OneTrust, a unicorn in the Privacy space, to grow and lead the London's front-end engineering team. Later, I took on a contract with Barclays Bank, co-leading a project to build a reusable, customizable framework for building interactive forms driven by a custom syntax.

2017-2018

I joined Societe Generale, one of the largest banks in Europe. My goal was to modernize the stack from Angular.js to modern Angular and ngRx.

2015-2016

I worked for Klood, a social-media planner and analytics company, then turned market-research analyzer. These were fundamental years in my growth.

2013-2014

After my graduation I worked at King's College London, in the Digital Humanities Department. Then I joined eFinancialCareers, one of the most important job boards in the financial sector.

2010-2013

I studied Digital Humanities at University of Pisa, a subject which taught me both Computer Science and literary studies.
