Roberts Grants — Software Engineer

About

I'm a software engineer with 7+ years of experience, specializing in .NET Core back-end development and technical leadership. Currently leading a delivery team at Sapiens for major UK insurance clients like Aviva and QMH, with prior experience as a Product Manager at Ubiquiti owning the UniFi mobile application vision across Android and iOS.

Before that, I worked at nfuse in Riga and Stuttgart, building enterprise automotive software for Daimler AG, and spent time freelancing on Telegram bot and e-commerce projects.

I'm an advanced user of AI-assisted and agentic development workflows, actively shaping team practices around modern tooling to accelerate delivery and raise code quality. Passionate about self-hosting and staying current with emerging tech through my home lab.

I studied Computer Systems at Riga Technical University and Computer Science at Newcastle University in the UK. I'm eager to keep growing as a technical leader who bridges engineering, product, and user experience.
