Julian Trupe, GelatoLove Driver.
Julian is a math and coding genius. He is currently making GelatoLove a better place as a relentless driver. He has never failed a delivery and, honestly, we don’t know how he does it. Julian is just a magnificent problem solver!
He is a first generation German-American, born and raised in San Diego (Cardiff). Julian grew up playing soccer and is a lifelong supporter of Liverpool Football Club.
His passion is Alpine Sky: since he was little, once a year or so, he would travel to his family cabin in Tahoe, which nurtured his love for the mountains, snow, and especially skiing. He has now been skiing for 25 years.
Julian graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 2018 with a degree in Mathematics. Shortly after graduating he completed a coding bootcamp at UC Davis before returning home at the beginning of the pandemic. Julian is absolutely passionate about science and technology, and currently spends most of his free time programming in pursuit of a career in technology.
He’s had several jobs in food service, including grill cook at Chipotle, cuisine/deli at Cardiff Seaside Market, and catering events which served 1,000 people. Julian has been a math tutor at MiraCosta Community College, and a mentor staff at a sober home for young men struggling with addiction.
Julian loves to cook and has had a lot of fun learning how to prepare various ethnic foods including Thai and Indian curries, mastering new techniques, and becoming familiar with ingredients which were once foreign.
