Vince Lapore

Junior Product Engineer

Hi! I'm Vince, a software engineer and actor in Brisbane, moving to Melbourne in October. I build products end to end: right now that's GradeMate, a grade calculator used by 180+ students, and Eighty Six, a specs and costing app currently beta-testing in the hands of bartenders (I've worked behind the bar for five years). I studied Computer Science at UQ. I care about interfaces that feel good and products that actually get used.
