Summary
Giacomo Sorbi is a Senior Software Engineer and team lead with 11 years of experience building performant, production-grade web and distributed systems across Fortune 500s and early-stage startups. He blends hands-on expertise in React/TypeScript, Node.js, Modern C++, Python and Solidity with a strong focus on performance, optimisation and pragmatic architecture. As a first technical hire and co-founder he has bootstrapped products end-to-end—shipping React Native apps, AWS Lambda backends and DynamoDB data layers—while at larger firms he delivered critical tooling for performance regression detection. A natural teacher and mentor, he has led cross-border teams, run university courses and coached cohorts to bring novices to deployable competence. Competitive coding and a persistent appetite for new technologies drive his problem-solving style, and he often pairs pragmatic engineering with creative data visualisations (D3.js) and Web3 integrations. Based in London, he combines startup grit with enterprise-grade process to turn ambiguous requirements into reliable, testable systems.
