Antonio Firmiano is a founder and software engineer with seven years of experience building security-focused, scalable systems and developer tools from London. As CEO of Arvion he is developing an "Autonomous Security Engineer" to eliminate security backlogs and accelerate secure delivery, drawing on deep SCA and program-analysis expertise gained at Snyk. At Snyk he helped make code analysis enterprise-ready by introducing gRPC and distributed architectures, contributed to a Datalog-based solver and high-performance algorithms that analyze millions of lines of code, and led SCA expansion into unmanaged C/C++. He is a pragmatic back-end and security engineer who has improved CLI tooling and dependency-graph accuracy in notable open-source projects like the widely used Snyk CLI. Comfortable across product, research, and infra layers, he combines hands-on refactoring and systems design with mentoring and on-call reliability practices. His background in end-to-end platform builds and consulting gives him a knack for turning complex security research into production-ready developer experiences.
