Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Vassallo is a CTO and inventive engineering leader with 12 years of experience building secure, data-driven web and mobile systems from Malta. He combines hands-on full‑stack expertise (Python, Java, Go, React, Android) with deep security and networking background to deliver ML-powered anomaly detection and cyber‑awareness platforms that shrink threat mitigation timelines. His career spans R&D to production, including machine learning on security logs, biometric prototyping, IoT/BLE positioning, and DevOps automation, reflecting a knack for turning proofs of concept into deployed products. Comfortable across backend, frontend, embedded and infrastructure layers, he’s as likely to design IDS and firewall architectures as to implement Flask or Spring microservices. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic technical leadership that blends academic rigor (MSc in Security) with a hacker’s curiosity for unconventional solutions.
