Summary
Claudio Squarcella is a Director of Engineering with 14 years of experience blending academic research and hands-on product engineering to build data visualization and observability tools. After a PhD in Computer Engineering and research stints at CAIDA and RIPE NCC, he transitioned into industry roles at ThousandEyes and Sysdig, progressing from frontend engineer to director while staying technically active. He thrives in distributed, multicultural teams—having lived and worked across Europe and the U.S.—and values humility, fairness, and incremental delivery. Known for turning complex network and geo-data into usable visualizations, Claudio bridges research-grade thinking with pragmatic product delivery. He joined management reluctantly because his teams needed leadership, and now enjoys scaling engineering organizations without losing a maker’s mindset.
