Summary
👤
SeniorDario Longobardi is a software engineer and AI researcher based in Milan with 12 years of hands-on experience and a 16-year background in Linux-based development. He specializes in taking research-grade models into high-performance production—designing and pre-training Transformer LLMs, implementing SFT and alignment pipelines, and applying PEFT techniques like LoRA/QLoRA for domain adaptation. His work spans deep learning and computer vision (custom detection/segmentation networks focused on reducing false positives) and embedded/HPC inference optimization using ONNX Runtime, TensorRT and OpenVINO with INT8/FP16 quantization and pruning. Equally comfortable in C/C++ low-level system engineering, he builds multithreaded, real-time middleware and optimizes IPC and kernel/user-space performance. An active open-source practitioner, he treats his GitHub as his technical CV—contributions like a robust C++ TCP server/client showcase his ability to ship reliable, low-level networking and systems code alongside cutting-edge ML.
