Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlessandro Siniscalchi is a seasoned computer engineer and co-founder with 14+ years delivering high-reliability systems across aerospace, astronomy, cinema audio, and blockchain. He blends deep systems and C/C++ expertise from mission-critical projects (Eurofighter simulators, telescope control, and Dolby 3D audio) with modern blockchain engineering—leading Substrate parachain/solochain development and EVM L2 design at Freeverse and LAOS. As Head of Engineering he owned roadmaps, CI/CD and quality gates, and as a board member he now helps shape decentralized governance for LAOS. An active open-source contributor, he’s added INDI telescope control to Stellarium and integrated LAOS parachains into the widely used polkadot-js/apps UI, showing strength across backend, DevOps, and front-end. He is Barcelona-based, pragmatic about failure modes and monitoring, and uniquely comfortable moving between low-level embedded work and high-level protocol design.
