Summary
Corrado Zoccolo is a Senior Staff Software Engineer with 26 years of experience, currently driving advanced systems and infrastructure work at Google from Zurich. He blends deep expertise in C++, template metaprogramming, library design and Linux/kernel development with a strong research background in parallel and distributed computing from his PhD-era work. Corrado has led geographically distributed teams and architected high-throughput, fault-tolerant indexers and image search systems at Ask.com, and earlier contributed compiler and component-model work for parallel programming environments. Known for performance-first design, he focuses on algorithmic rigor, concurrent programming and pragmatic optimizations that scale in production. Comfortable moving between hands-on coding and technical leadership, he often surfaces subtle bottlenecks and redesigns hotspots to improve reliability and throughput. Based in Zurich, he combines academic depth with two-plus decades of production engineering at internet-scale companies.
