Hello! I'm Alex Grasso

I'm a passionate iOS developer, tech enthusiast, and photographer based in Beverly, Massachusetts. I'm currently a student at Essex Technical & Agricultural High School, where I'm enrolled in the Information Technology Services (ITS) program, and part of the graduating Class of 2028.

My work revolves around creating engaging, intuitive applications and capturing meaningful visual stories through photography. Whether it's designing a sleek iPhone app or staying up all night to photograph the Aurora Borealis, I'm always in pursuit of something creative, technical, and impactful.

What I'm Building

  • Glide – a real-time biking companion with Apple Watch support and glowing UI elements
  • MacMap – an app to explore Apple Stores around the world
  • Quote Jar – a cross-device quote collection app that syncs between friends

Beyond the Screen

  • Final Cut Pro editing
  • Apple-style UI prototyping
  • Helping classmates troubleshoot tech problems
  • Tinkering with old Macs and trying to revive them with Linux
  • Exploring cybersecurity and creating experimental UIs
