Summary
Adriano Petrich is a senior software engineer with 17 years of experience building scalable systems across cloud, embedded, and web domains, currently working at Aleph Alpha and INFODAS in Berlin. He blends deep Python expertise with systems-level work in Rust for real-time, memory-safe embedded gateways and has a strong track record automating deployments with Ansible and CI/CD tooling. His background includes significant OpenStack (TripleO) contributions at Red Hat, leading bug triage and workflow automation, plus early work in ML/NLP and large-scale Django projects for cloud-agnostic asset management. A seasoned tech lead and consultant, he has repeatedly bridged product, platform, and systems teams to deliver secure, high-performance solutions and mentored large distributed teams. Unusually for a senior cloud engineer, he also brings low-level kernel and microkernel experience from embedded projects and a physics degree grounding his analytical approach.
