Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndrea Peruffo is a Principal Software Engineer with two decades of hands-on experience spanning firmware, PLCs, full-stack web applications, cloud infrastructure, and modern databases. Currently at IBM after a Principal role at Red Hat, he excels at turning complex ideas into production-ready systems through rigorous architecture, systems integration, and team leadership. A pragmatic polyglot, he contributes regularly to prominent open-source projects — from improving Debezium’s Wasm scripting and Akka internals to hardening Quarkus tests and Keycloak tooling. His work often sits at the intersection of developer tooling, distributed systems, and testing infrastructure, reflecting a strong bias for robustness and observability. Based in Lisbon, he brings a rare combination of low-level embedded experience and large-scale backend expertise, and is particularly drawn to leveraging data and open-source patterns to push projects beyond initial requirements. Colleagues note his knack for simplifying intricate systems while shipping practical, well-tested solutions.
