Summary
Giulio Pietroiusti is a software engineer based in Barcelona with 10 years of experience spanning frontend and full-stack development, currently building products at Kantox. He has strong expertise in modern web stacks—Angular/TypeScript, Django/DRF, PostgreSQL, Redis and Celery—and a track record of shipping UX-focused features and optimizing critical database performance. At Prenomics he moved from junior frontend to lead contributor roles, reshaping core abstractions, delivering a redesigned data-interaction experience, and authoring the most commits on the team. His background is unusual for an engineer: a PhD in Cognitive Science and Analytic Philosophy with peer-reviewed publications, which informs his rigorous, user-centered approach to problem framing and communication. Colleagues value him for autonomous ownership of complex features and pragmatic optimizations that measurably improve product responsiveness. Fluent in both research and production code, he bridges thoughtful design with reliable execution.
