Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlessandro Baretta is a CTO and co-founder with 12 years of cross-domain engineering experience building systems that span robotics, high-frequency trading, insurance risk, and epidemiological modeling. He has led teams and shipped products from Hadoop-based big data pipelines to AWS microservices, and has a track record of turning advanced ML research into customer-facing SaaS—most recently founding a firm focused on algorithmic trading and now building agentic embedded finance for the AI age. Comfortable both as a hands-on engineer and as a coach, he hires and mentors high-caliber engineers while still diving into one-on-one problem solving. His background includes real-time pricing and risk systems at Climate Corporation and pioneering cyber insurance SaaS as CTO of Zeguro, which was acquired. Based in San Jose with formal engineering training from Politecnico di Milano and École Polytechnique plus a corporate finance master's, he thrives on the hardest technical and product challenges. An uncommon thread through his career is applying rigorous engineering to public-interest problems, from food-safety reporting for the European Commission to healthcare analytics.
