Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlessio Bogani is a Process Control and Instrumentation Engineer with 26 years of hands-on experience designing, implementing and maintaining highly reliable control systems for scientific and industrial environments, notably Italy’s electron particle accelerators. He blends deep embedded Linux expertise (Yocto across PowerPC, ARM and x86) with kernel- and driver-level development—having removed the BKL and optimized symbol resolution in the Linux kernel—and large-scale device integration using Tango Controls. Alessio builds high-performance closed-loop and networked systems using C/C++/Python, SIMD optimizations, DPDK and real-time techniques, and he publishes peer-reviewed research in IEEE. He also develops RESTful and high-throughput web backends for SCADA, created custom Yocto layers (including meta-tango) and contributed to major open-source projects like OpenEmbedded, demonstrating pragmatic cross-domain engineering. Curious about modern language standards and AI, he’s already prototyped LLM integration into control systems via an MCP server for Tango.
