Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlessandro Gallotta is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building distributed systems, backend APIs, and cloud-native tooling across companies like Datadog, Chime, Salesforce, and Sysdig.

Early work spans embedded and networked systems (FPGA, microcontrollers, VoIP) and research-grade automation for RTP/PESQ testing, giving him a strong foundation in low-level protocols and measurement. He has spoken at major conferences (MesosCon, ContainerCon Europe), signaling deep involvement in the container/observability community beyond product work. A top-graduated computer engineer with Erasmus study in interactive software and information security, he pairs academic rigor with pragmatic shipping experience. Colleagues would note his ability to translate complex, protocol-level problems into reliable, production-grade services.
