André Prado is a Director of Software Engineering with 12 years of experience building cloud-scale systems for AI, robotics and cinematic workflows, currently leading engineering for NVIDIA Omniverse from Vancouver. He blends deep embedded and FPGA roots with hands-on backend skills—Python, distributed queues, databases and CI/CD—to solve large-scale VFX and production-engineering problems at studios like ILM and Method Studios. Known for empowering creative teams, he moves seamlessly between low-level firmware/RTL work and high-level cloud architectures, making him effective at bridging hardware constraints and cloud-native design. His career shows a rare arc from SoC/FPGA design and embedded Linux to supervising production pipelines and now architecting AI-enabled platforms, which helps him translate artistic requirements into reliable, scalable systems.
