About

With over 20 years of experience as a passionate IT professional, my goal is to help companies achieve their best results through technology. While I have experience as a full stack developer, my true specialization and focus is in front-end web development for large, modern applications. I am deeply engaged in the IT and Open Source communities, contributing my expertise through talks and workshops, as well as organizing meetups and conferences. I'm the coordinator of AngularSP, the largest Angular and TypeScript community in Latin America, where we maintain a strong and up-to-update group, seeking for diversity in gender, race and social classes in all events, please take a look: http://www.meetup.com/AngularJS-Sao-Paulo/ A list of my talks available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFO1L_w81NFQPkCA0v4bYUYNqzSCnpA27 Slides of my talks: https://slides.com/williamgrasel Some open source projects published: https://www.npmjs.com/~willgm https://github.com/willgm

I founded and led a new Web Development Engineering Platform from the ground up, leading together the entire lifecycle from hiring and mentoring the team to defining the solution architecture and validating proofs of concept. I spearheaded the creation of foundational assets including a new Design System, modern CI/CD pipelines, and shared SDKs. These initiatives were instrumental in accelerating delivery and drastically reducing time-to-market, successfully transforming our deployment capabilities from a 30-day release cycle to multiple deployments per day.
