Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Petroni is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience, currently based in Vienna and specializing in scalable deployments, robotics-adjacent automation, and high-performance computing. He has a strong background in R&D and continuous integration, having progressed through roles at Dynatrace, IMS Nanofabrication, and Intersec Group where he combined systems engineering with team leadership. David pairs low-level systems skills (C, GTK, ncurses contributions such as adding a system tray and unread-message notifications to the Profanity XMPP client) with cloud-scale delivery practices for observability and HPC workloads. His academic foundation in robotics and automation (Laurea Specialistica with honors) informs a pragmatic approach to automation and orchestration across software and hardware interfaces. Colleagues describe him as curious and constantly learning, equally comfortable shipping production services or digging into native GUI and build-system details.
