Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmedeo Perazzo is a Distinguished Engineer with 16 years of experience designing and leading controls, data acquisition, and analysis architectures for high-energy physics, astrophysics and photon science facilities. He has directed large engineering teams and multi-million dollar programs at SLAC, including the ExaFEL project that is pushing LCLS toward exascale, and now applies that expertise in a startup role based in Menlo Park. Known for building heterogeneous, real-time DAQ systems and science data frameworks, he blends deep hands-on technical chops with strategic program leadership. His background spans low-level firmware and kernel drivers to large-scale data paths and near-real-time analysis pipelines, reflecting a rare full-stack competence for scientific instrumentation. A former paratrooper lieutenant with a PhD in elementary particle physics, he brings disciplined leadership and systems-thinking to complex, high-throughput experiments.
