Alessandro Gagliardi is a Staff Software Engineer II based in New York with 12 years of experience building privacy-focused infrastructure that gives users control over their data. At Transcend he has progressed from hands-on engineering to technical leadership, shipping content classification, unstructured scanning for Azure, and a Preference Store for cross-device consent histories. His background spans data platform work at Calm and Pandora, teaching and curriculum design in data engineering, and founding a coaching product—combining rigorous systems thinking with user-centered product design. Trained in behavioral and neural science and schooled in complex systems, he blends quantitative rigor with a cybernetician’s view of systems and feedback loops. Colleagues rely on him to turn proofs-of-concept into production-grade ML and privacy tooling that balance technical scale with regulatory nuance.
