Ciro Spaciari is a software engineer with nine years of experience building high-performance web applications and optimizing large online services, now based in San Francisco. He has led teams and shipped production systems that handle tens of millions of transactions annually, with a strong background in backend architectures, performance tuning, and cross-stack development from .NET to Python and Node. As a core contributor to Bun, he improved HTTP/HTTPS clients, proxy support, and WebSocket stability for a widely watched JavaScript runtime, and expanded Python framework benchmarks at TechEmpower to stress-test modern ASGI/WSGI setups. Comfortable both leading teams and diving into low-level server behavior, he combines pragmatic product focus with a knack for squeezing milliseconds out of critical paths. Colleagues describe him as a developer who brings entrepreneurial initiative—he’s founded a consultancy and repeatedly turned small projects into production-grade systems.
