Top SchoolAl Grant is a seasoned software engineer with 13 years of experience, currently building products at Cisco Meraki from San Francisco. He specializes in web technologies (React/Redux/Node) and has a strong track record designing integrations between software and hardware—everything from tablets controlling TVs via TCP to augmented reality iPad apps backed by Node servers. His career spans startups, consultancy and freelancing where he led refactors that unlocked new revenue streams and optimized front-ends to handle large datasets.

Notably, his freelance work included creative technical tooling such as Blender Python scripts for manipulating high-resolution 3D head scans. He combines hands-on implementation with an appetite for tackling unusual engineering problems that sit at the intersection of hardware, graphics and web platforms.
