Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJulio Grillo is a pragmatic software developer with nine years' experience building back-end systems and shipping production features for startups in London. He has strong Go and Haskell experience, contributing performance-focused features like a Redis tile cache to the popular Tegola vector-tile server and bootstrapping dhall-toml support for the dhall-haskell ecosystem. At GloveBox and Xander he concentrated on backend development for scalable web services, and has hands-on experience adding HTTP client behavior and robust tests to the Goby language. Julio favors practical, maintainable solutions—his open-source work shows attention to performance, conversion tooling, and test coverage rather than just new features. He studied computer science in the US and is currently based in London, blending academic rigor with startup-focused delivery.
