Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCarlo Zapponi is a data visualization tech leader with 16 years of experience, currently leading AI-driven network analytics visualization at Cisco from Milan. He blends human-computer interaction, interaction design, and creative coding—using D3.js, React/Redux, SVG/Canvas and HTML5—to turn complex telemetry into intuitive interfaces. His background spans product and media environments at Guardian, Microsoft, Nokia and design consultancy frog, giving him a cross-disciplinary view of data, UX and engineering. Skilled in rapid prototyping and physical computing (Arduino), he pairs visual design instincts with backend skills in Node.js, MongoDB and data tools like R and Tableau. Carlo’s work emphasizes practical experimentation: shipping prototypes that explore novel interaction patterns for large-scale data rather than purely aesthetic demos. He holds an MS in Computer Science from the University of Bologna and an MA from Domus Academy, reflecting a rare mix of technical rigor and design thinking.
