# Gianluca Venturini > Software Engineer at Material Security Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/gianlucaventurini I am a highly ambitious full stack engineer with a strong background in Computer Science. I always challenge myself in order to improve my technical skills but also to learn completely new topics, in the last years I learned about data science, psychology, design, business and team leading. I’m currently working at Dropbox as a full stack engineer specialized in developing data visualizations. The goal that I'm pursuing is taking advantage of the human pattern recognition ability for analyzing big data. The tools that I'm developing there are delivering business value providing meaningful knowledge about how the users are collaborating on Dropbox platform and allowing actionable insights on how to improve ROI for customer that are using Dropbox platform. Since I was in middle school I fell in love with Computer Science and all the infinite possibilities that it will create for everyone to build new products and learn new things. At that time I was also interested in learning about electronics and low level programming in order to fill the gap between software and hardware that I can build. I always shaped my educational path following my passion and I enjoyed every new field that I entered in contact with. When I have time I always learn new programming languages, SDKs and tools that enable me to build my projects efficiently and constantly improving the quality. I always experiment with cutting edge technologies also before they become stable and widely adopted. I found that also without previous knowledge about a new technology the learning curve is impressive when I leave my confidence zone. On my bachelor degree and during the two masters I completely dedicated myself to my field of study in order to succeed in an high international, competitive and challenging environment. During that time I selected exams on topics where I was particularly curious in order to be constantly challenged. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Material Security Jan 2019 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area ### Full Stack Engineer - Growth Engineer @ Dropbox Jan 2017 – Jan 2019 | San Francisco Bay Area Creating elegant products begins with lots of prototyping and iteration to explore the problem space. It culminates in careful attention to edge cases and error handling, polished code, and great tests to ensure that we ship a reliable product that never compromises data integrity or security. Every Dropbox software release improves millions of lives. Dropbox is all about shipping high-leverage projects, even if they're risky or novel. We care deeply about collaboration, feedback, and iteration. Trust and respect are deeply rooted in our engineering culture. ### Full Stack Engineer - Data Visualization Developer @ Dropbox Jan 2016 – Jan 2017 | San Francisco Bay Area Dropbox is fundamentally a data company, and maximizing the value of data to people is at the core of what it does. The developer role consists in developing high-quality scalable data visualizations that enable Dropbox and customers to understand and transform the way they collaborate and help tease out important insights from big and complex data. The development process highly involves customer feedback through agile software development iterations. Abilities required include full stack web development, user interface design and big data analysis. ### Data Visualization Specialist - Independent Contractor @ Dropbox Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 ### Graduate Research Assistant @ University of Illinois at Chicago Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 | Greater Chicago Area Research Assistant in the field of Human Computer Interaction and Learning Technologies.
