Summary
Carlos Manso is a software engineer and telecommunications PhD researcher with 10 years’ experience building cloud-native, distributed networking systems and automation for both research and industry. He has driven development of microservice-based SDN controllers and orchestration (gRPC, Protobuf, CockroachDB) at CTTC and now automates complex test infrastructures for data providers at IBM using Python/PyTest and Jenkins. Comfortable across embedded C, Java, and modern cloud stacks, he bridges research-grade prototypes and production automation for transport and data platforms. Based in Catalonia, he pairs deep networking expertise with a hands-on mentality and a curiosity that extends beyond code—he plays guitar, cooks, and travels to recharge. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of translating academic project goals into maintainable engineering artifacts across European 5G/6G projects.
