Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAntonio Quartulli is a networking-focused software engineer and entrepreneur with over 13 years of hands-on experience and 15+ years in the network engineering space, currently CEO and co-founder of Mandelbit and a Principal Engineer at OpenVPN. He combines deep kernel-level expertise (Linux networking, DCO/ovpn kernel module, mac/cfg80211) with protocol design and distributed systems work such as DHTs, mesh networks and OpenWrt-based firmware. A prolific open-source contributor, he has improved stability and security in projects like OpenVPN and contributed backend DHT and configuration work to the notable LBRY SDK, plus critical fixes to widely used tools like axel. He advises and invests through multiple holding and advisory roles, translating low-level technical know-how into product-focused consulting and long-term support for open-source drivers. Based in Trentino, Italy, he pairs rigorous engineering (race-condition fixes, memory-leak remediation, build-pipeline hardening) with an unusual side interest in wine importing and WSET certification, reflecting a pragmatic, detail-oriented but worldly approach.
