Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndrea Gilardoni is a Senior Firmware Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building embedded systems, IoT platforms, and cloud integrations across startups and research labs. Currently at Qualcomm after leading firmware efforts at Arduino, he combines low-level MCU expertise—demonstrated by contributions adding STM32L0 target support to the widely used Arm Mbed OS—with practical cloud and DevOps skills from roles at Syneto and Tessa Agritech. His background spans hardware design, firmware, Kubernetes deployments, and visualization stacks like Grafana, enabling end-to-end product delivery from sensor to cloud. A lifelong learner completing advanced studies at the University of Trento, he brings both academic rigor in computer science and a pragmatic startup mentality to complex embedded problems.
