Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGuglielmo D'anna is a software engineer with seven years of experience building developer-focused products and design-driven tooling, currently at Linear after co-founding and shipping core features at CodeStory (YC S23). He led delivery of a VSCode-forked editor used by thousands and processing billions of tokens per day, architecting a bidirectional streaming RPC to a Rust backend for real-time agentic chat and code editing. Equally comfortable in product and growth, he built quick-turn extensions and launched AgentFarm—handling technical scaffolding, branding, go-to-market and sales in days. Earlier roles span improving DX at scale, delivering a themable enterprise web app for Dutch universities, and creating interactive WebGL experiences for high-profile clients. He blends visual design training with deep engineering chops, often shipping prototypes that become production products and company standards. Based in the UK, he brings a rare mix of editor internals, Rust systems work, frontend craftsmanship, and rapid product execution.
