Senior🎓
Top SchoolAntonio Pierro is a backend software programmer with 14–15 years of experience, blending deep scientific training (PhDs in Computer Science and Physics) with hands-on engineering across academia, research labs and industry. He has built scalable systems, APIs and cloud-native applications, and spent significant time at Inria, CERN and several Italian universities developing production-grade software for large-scale experiments and research projects. Antonio is an early adopter of AI-driven development workflows, skilled in prompt engineering, Multi-Context Protocols and agent-based prompt design to accelerate coding and improve quality. He contributes to open-source (notably front-end improvements for the widely used FriendsOfSymfony comment bundle), showing attention to UX and event-driven JavaScript in addition to backend work. Based in Paris, he combines a researcher’s rigor with pragmatic delivery, often translating complex scientific requirements into maintainable software. An understated strength is his ability to bridge experimental research code and production systems, making him effective in both R&D and product-focused teams.
